This adorable copper bowl is petite, and the perfect size for decor and use in rituals, ceremonies, and incense burning. Pour sand within to protect your bowl, and let it catch the ashes of your incense or smudge sticks. You can also snuff burning embers in the sand. Place a charcoal tablet in the sand and burn resin!!. Careful: the copper bowl may get hot, but the sand should help diffuse the heat. Place on a heatproof surface to protect your furniture. Easy to clean: wipe with a damp cloth, dry with a soft cloth. Copper may lose shine over time; buff occasionally to keep help preserve the shine. Caution: can get hot if you burn charcoal within. Place on a fireproof surface before burning incense within; do not handle while incense is burning.
