Details
It is ceramic. A dark arch frames a pale glazed tower of steps over a round base with a notch at the front. The cone sits in a seat on top of the arch. The listed size is 3.9 by 3.1 by 6.7 in (9.8 by 8 by 17 cm). It needs no electricity, and incense is not included.
A backflow cone has a hollow center. As it burns, the smoke is drawn down through that hollow into a channel in the arch. It comes out at the top of the tower, rolls down the steps and pools in the base before spilling over the front.
How to use
Set the burner on a flat, heat resistant surface away from drafts and fans. Light a backflow cone, let it catch, then blow out the flame so it glows. Set it in the seat on top of the arch. Clear the ash once it is cold.
Shipping and returns
Ships in 24 to 48 hours, then 6 to 9 business days in transit. Free shipping over $75. 30 days to return an unused item in its original packaging.
Safety
Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep the burner away from curtains, paper and drafts, and out of reach of children and pets. The seat and the ash stay hot after the cone goes out, so let it cool before you touch it. Wipe it with a soft cloth and brush out the channel now and then.

Questions
Four things people ask
How does a backflow incense burner work?
The smoke of a backflow cone is heavier than the air around it, so it runs down the piece instead of rising. The cone needs a hollow center and a channel in the burner for the effect to show.
What is the Stairway Ceramic Backflow Incense Burner made of?
It is ceramic. A burner takes heat and ash every time it is used, so the material has to stand it and then wipe clean once the piece is cold.
Is it safe to leave it burning?
Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep the burner on a heatproof surface, clear of curtains, paper and anything that moves in a draft, and remember that the ash and the piece stay hot for a while after the incense has gone out.
How much is it, and is shipping free?
This one is $39.90, and shipping is free over $75. Below that shipping is a flat $5.90, and an unused piece in its original packaging can go back within 30 days.
