The Burner
NTL DTH is the counterpoint. A rebellion against disposability. A return to the physical.
Not just an ashtray. Not just an incense burner. It’s The Burner.
Born from the raw elegance of nature, this multi-use concrete piece brings organic shapes and natural simplicity into your space. Whether cradling Japanese ash or sand for incense cones or acting as a minimalist ashtray, The Burner balances utility with a design that feels as if it could have been carved by the elements themselves.
Each piece carries the mark of permanence—an inlaid, hand-stamped brass emblem. A promise etched in metal and embedded in stone, it’s a quiet testament to its durability and craftsmanship.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Concrete isn’t fragile—but it is alive.
Each NTL DTH object will develop character with time and touch. While strong and built to last, concrete can chip or crack if dropped—so treat your piece like the artifact it is.
Our concrete is sealed and safe for daily use. For regular maintenance, simply hand-wash with warm water and a gentle soap. Towel dry, then allow to air dry fully. Like natural stone, concrete is porous—liquids may absorb but will not seep through.
Waxing & Ritual
We offer Stonekeeper Wax not just as protection, but as practice. Waxing your piece is a way to slow down and care for what stays.
If your piece lives outdoors or sees frequent handling (food, water, incense, etc.), a thin coat of wax will help maintain its tone and texture.
Our wax is made from beeswax, carnauba wax, and mineral oil—safe enough to use on lips, hands, even beards.
How to Care (1–2–3)
Before using with food, wash your piece thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Any polishing residue will wash away here.
Dry with a towel and let air dry for 2–3 hours.
Apply a thin layer of Stonekeeper Wax. Let sit for 15 minutes, then buff with a soft cloth.
Things to Know
Bowls used for liquids should be waxed weekly, or until they become saturated.
Waxing darkens color over time. Some colors deepen with wax. Others shift with use.
If you want the color to remain exactly as cast, avoid food contact or skip the wax.
Show your concrete love, and it will be with you for life.

COLOR & SURFACE
Every NTL DTH object is hand-cast in small batches, using custom molds and a variety of finishing techniques. Pigments are added both within the mix and onto the surface—each method chosen to be permanent and to enhance the natural quality of the concrete beneath.
Each piece is sealed and softly polished by hand. Over time, the surface will naturally shift as the protective wax wears, softening into a more matte finish. To restore luster, deepen color, and protect the surface, reapply Stonekeepers Wax as desired.
Speckling, patina, and tonal variation are part of the process—never flaws. These details make each object feel discovered, not produced. Colors are consistent in tone, but no two pieces are identical. That’s what makes them yours.
