 hand made ceramic high fired top, holds more, lasts longerSep 17, 2011
By Chandler
Note: I added a photo of my warmer under the photo in the product listing.
I expected this to be a mass-made bisque piece and would still have loved it but found it just lovely that it was handmade...having majored in art the hole at the top gives it away as that's how it was fired. Also it's "high fired" which means fired at a temperature to make it stoneware...in other words, basically "petrified" ceramic ware making it stand up to heat better and have less likelihood of breakage.
It is dipped in a pretty neutral-toned glaze.
So what do you do with it? Throw out the candles that leave soot and the chemical-filled room fresheners.
Buy a box of essential oils. I personally love peppermint, lavender and sweet orange. Peppermint will keep pests out of your house including ants naturally and just smells wonderfully good. Lavender is very soothing and orange is sweet and great if you have a litterbox in any room--it masks pet odors.
Fill the top part with water and then put a few drops of essential oil of your choice in the water. Just to your taste. 6 will waft through the whole house.
Light a tea candle (a tea candle is no taller than the base of the diffuser)
and that will heat up the ceramic piece and cause the essential oils to fill up your house far better than any candle or airfreshener EVER could!
What I like about this diffuser is that it is pretty sitting out even if you don't have it lit...it's a handsome homemade piece. This is also why it would make a great gift with a few essential oils and look far more expensive than it is.
It also holds more water than many diffusers and because it has a bit of a "top" as it's like a ceramic bag hanging, it just seems to hold the water in longer without evaporation even after you blow out the candle
But better yet, I've seen some glass diffusers heat up too hot and break. A high fired ceramic piece won't allow that to happen.
Negatives: I wish it had come with a tea candle. I didn't have one on hand when I got this piece and I would have loved to have lit it up from the start. But I guess that's like some items come with batteries and some don't...with this you won't even get a "starter battery".
Very nice and good looking piece...surprising for the price. I love it!

A Great Oil DiffuserJun 08, 2011
By S.
This folk art porcelain tear drop oil warmer/diffuser is a very simple design, and is pleasing to the eye, as it is quite neutral; it fits pretty much everywhere. When I ordered it I was a bit worried that I might receive it in pieces or the metal hook bent, but everything arrived just fine. What I really like about this warmer is that the tear drop is rather large, accomodating a large amount of scented oil, as well as water (to prevent burning). One tea candle burns for approximately two hours, and in other oil warmers a refill would be necessary after this time. Not in this oil warmer - all you need is another candle, and you have yourself another two hours of great smells. I find the shallow dish oil warmers annoying as they have to be refilled very often, and monitored as well - this warmer is very low maintenance. Add that to the low price, and you have a winner!

 Tear Drop Oil WarmerDec 14, 2011
By L. Stewart
I picked this product because of the good reviews it had gotten so far, and because of the price. I've had it for a few months now, have used it a handful of times, and I'm very happy with it.
The porcelain tear drop seems to be of very high quality, and holds a good amount of water inside for you to drop your essential oils into. The base and hook look good, but are kind of flimsy and light. It gets the job done, though. It seems like the black base would dent easily if you weren't carful, but this isn't a item that gets handled too often, so I'm not too worried about it.
My tea light candles from the dollar store fit perfectly into the hole, and the candle flame seems to be a good distance away from the bottom of the tear drop.
I use about 5-10 drops of essential oils each time, and the smell fills my bathroom and hallway, and even a bit into my living room. I imagine if I used more oil then the smell would go farther.
I gave this 4 out of 5 starts because of the flimsy feeling base, but the product functions well, and looks good. I would definitely purchase it again if I had it to over.

 Attractive, but poor qualityMar 26, 2012
By Robert C. Alridge III
"BobA"
Attractive item, but arrived broken. Basically, the quality of the metal support arm and metal base is bad. When it arrived, I saw that the spot weld between the support arm and the base was broken. The base is really cheap, flimsy, stamped sheet metal that is painted matt black. It is very light weight, and has a "cheap" feel to it. The design is nice, but I wouldn't buy something like this without a cast-metal base and sturdier construction. The glazed clay oil warmer was fine, and a nice design.

Best one I've found so farFeb 16, 2012
By K. Lee
This works so much better for me than the cylindrical type of oil warmer that only has a tiny little bowl you're constantly watching so it won't run dry. Nice big capacity, a good quality tealight seems to burn just long enough to evaporate *almost* all the water (cheaper tealights don't burn as long). it's also very pretty! The only thing I'd change is to see if there is some way to have a bit of a barrier around the candle; unless you are lighting it exactly where it is going to be, it's hard to carry it around because the candle flame is completely exposed.
