DURABLE: Well made, solid cast iron bowl, 6.5cm high by 8.5cm diameter, with perforated lotus patterned lid HIGHLY VERSATILE: Can be used to burn incense cones or sticks, fresh incense and smudge sticks INCENSE CONES AND STICKS: Cones can be placed straight into the bowl, but in order to stand incense sticks you will need to partly fill with sand FRESH INCENSE: If using the bowl to burn fresh incense you will need a charcoal disc. This can be lit and put into the base of the bowl, and then you can add any fresh incense or herbs on top. If you would like to put the lid on the smoke will gently rise through the holes in the elegant lotus design. Be careful when using charcoal as the metal will get very hot and MUST BE PLACED ON A SUITABLE HEAT PROOF SURFACE. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THESE AS WAX MELTERS
