Censer bowls are designed to hold burning incense, and have been used in China for thousands of years. Incense was made from dried aromatic plants and essential oils and had different uses: to perfume sheets or clothes, as a way to warm your hands in winter, or for religious ceremonies and prayers. This beautiful bowl was made in China’s Henan Province over 150 years ago. It is cast in bronze with a classic tripod base, two looped handles, and an exquisite guardian fu lion incised into the side.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
