Small Brass Incense Bowl, 7.6 cm Diameter
The Magic of Scent Through History and Today
The practice of burning fragrant substances, has a tradition stretching back thousands of years in human culture. In the Middle Ages, aromatic smoke was used not only in religious ceremonies in churches to create a sacred atmosphere but also in everyday life. People believed that smoke from herbs and resins, such as frankincense or myrrh, cleansed the air of diseases (according to the miasma theory of the time) and evil spirits. Small bowls made of brass or bronze were ideal for these purposes—they were durable, easily portable, and their golden sheen evoked a sense of nobility.
Versatile Uses
This small bowl is incredibly versatile. Here are a few ideas on how you can use it:
- Incense Burning: Ideal for burning incense cones, loose herbs, woods, or resins on a charcoal disc.
- Offering Dish: Serves perfectly on your personal altar to hold small offerings, crystals, herbs, or other symbolic items.
- Historical Accessory: An essential piece for re-enactment, LARP, or theatre, adding authenticity to your camp or stage setting.
- Stylish Decor: You can use it as a small holder for a tealight candle or as a dish to keep rings and other small pieces of jewellery.
Safety Notice
When burning charcoal discs or cones, the bowl can become very hot. Always place it on a heatproof surface. For better insulation and to protect the bowl's finish, we recommend placing a thin layer of sand or salt at the bottom.

Caring for Brass
Brass is a beautiful material that naturally develops a patina and darkens over time, which many find desirable for an authentic, historical look. If you wish to maintain its bright shine, care is simple. Hand-wash the bowl with lukewarm water and mild soap, and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. From time to time, you can polish it with a suitable brass polish. Do not use harsh sponges or abrasive cleaning agents.
