This is very classy. I don’t like most oil burners but this one is tempting. Just not at that price?
Ditto to all of that!
I have little (6″ high?) ceramic burners and boxes of plain tea lights. I can’t imagine spending that much on an oil burner. No offense to those who like the style, but for me that would be a lot of money to put out, especially since I already have something that does the same thing.
I’m trying to figure out the size of the brass burner. I guess it’s not very large. I guess I expect metal objects like this to have a raised design on them, like a filagree or a pattern of loops or geometric shapes. An appreciation for minimalism seems to have passed me by. 😉 Some do appreciate that, though. Different opinions. 🙂
I am pretty sure you have not offended anybody.
I do like the style, but like you can’t imagine paying that much for it.
I am with you…a bit too pricey for me.
It’s very heavy, about 1kg, so it’s quite an object.Nice though, tempting but sold out down here.
