Brass Censer with Cross – 15 cm

This 15 cm high brass censer is a compact church censer for traditionally burning pure frankincense and frankincense blends over charcoal. The dome-shaped lid has several openings that allow the incense smoke to escape and is crowned with a cross.

The censer is suspended from long chains and can be moved carefully during incense burning. Its design is inspired by traditional censers used in Christian and liturgical settings, for example during Mass.

Traditionally burning frankincense over charcoal

For incense burning, a glowing charcoal tablet is placed inside the vessel. Small amounts of pure frankincense or a frankincense blend can then be placed on the charcoal. The openings in the lid provide air circulation and allow the resulting frankincense smoke to escape.

The chains allow the censer to be held and gently swung, helping to distribute the incense smoke throughout the room.

Instructions for safe use

The glowing charcoal can cause the censer to become very hot during use. Hold it by the chains provided and avoid direct contact with the heated vessel. Never leave glowing incense charcoal unattended.

After burning incense, the censer should preferably remain suspended from a stable hook or suitable support until both the charcoal and the vessel have completely cooled. If placed on a surface, the weight of the long chains may unbalance the censer and cause it to tip over.
