[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9427201, member: 2844"]Thanks Cheryl, I never realised those were diyas, I often see them listed as incense burners. My diya is an antique one from Kashmir, cast copper with a naga handle, and shaped a bit like a sauce boat, so the wick rests on the spout. Pretty much like oil lamps from antiquity. That one shows how the wick goes, just over the side. They are very pretty, but not the safest construction, the wick can slide into the ghee or fall out. That is a sweetie.:happy:[/QUOTE]
