At approximately \u003cstrong\u003e135 mm long\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e15 mm wide\u003c\/strong\u003e, they are compact, lightweight and easy to store with your incense tools, while still giving enough length to help keep your fingers away from direct contact with charcoal during setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also feature a small \u003cstrong\u003ebrass hanging ring\u003c\/strong\u003e, so they can be hung beside an incense burner, altar space, apothecary shelf or ritual tools. Practical, rustic and quietly beautiful, they are a lovely option for anyone who prefers their incense accessories to feel a little less modern and a little more collected over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Story Behind This Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResin incense has its own rhythm. You prepare the burner, light the charcoal, wait for it to heat, add the resin, and then the fragrance begins to rise. It is slower than lighting an incense stick, but that is part of the beauty of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Antique Ember Tongs are made for that small but important moment when you handle the charcoal safely and with intention. Their antique finish gives them a warm, aged character that suits ritual spaces beautifully. They feel less like a shiny new tool and more like something that belongs beside brass burners, resin jars, prayer flags, candles and carefully chosen objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while they are lovely to look at, they are also very practical — because fingers and charcoal discs are not meant to become closely acquainted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWays to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse these tongs to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pick up charcoal discs before lighting\u003cbr\u003e• Place charcoal safely into a burner\u003cbr\u003e• Adjust charcoal placement before it becomes too hot\u003cbr\u003e• Handle cooled charcoal remnants or ash with care\u003cbr\u003e• Keep fingers away from heat, flame and residue\u003cbr\u003e• Hang neatly near your incense tools when not in use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tongs are especially useful with resin incense such as Copal, Frankincense, Myrrh and loose incense blends that require charcoal discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Antique Ember Tongs\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal with antique finish and brass hanging ring\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handling charcoal discs for resin incense and loose incense burning\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 135 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 15 mm\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eDesign Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tapered end for easier handling\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass ring for hanging\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique tone\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e One pair of charcoal tongs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the tongs to cool completely before cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe clean with a soft dry cloth after use.
