A classic cast iron cauldron with lid, featuring a pentagram design and traditional rounded form. Handmade from solid cast iron, this substantial ritual vessel is designed for burning charcoal, natural resin incense, loose incense and ritual herb blends.
At approximately 9cm across the widest point, this cauldron offers a little more space and depth than our smaller styles while remaining compact enough for an altar or personal ritual space. The fitted lid can be placed over the cauldron when you have finished burning to help extinguish the contents.
The pentagram motif is traditionally associated with protection, balance and the elements, adding symbolic detail to a practical incense-burning and ritual vessel.
As each cauldron is handmade, slight variations in dimensions, finish and texture are part of the individual character of each piece.
Place the cauldron on a stable, heat-resistant surface with an insulating trivet or tile underneath.
When burning natural resin or loose incense, use charcoal tongs to carefully light and position your charcoal disc. Allow the charcoal to catch and heat before adding a small amount of resin, loose incense or ritual herb blend.
When you have finished burning, the fitted lid can be placed over the cauldron to help extinguish the contents. Allow everything to cool completely before handling, cleaning or disposing of the charcoal and ash.

Cast iron becomes extremely hot during use and can remain hot for some time afterwards. Always use your cauldron on a stable, heat-resistant surface with an insulating base underneath.
Burn incense in a well-ventilated area with doors or windows open for good airflow. Keep away from flammable materials, children and pets, and never leave burning charcoal or incense unattended.
Do not touch or move the cauldron while hot. Allow the cauldron and its contents to cool completely before handling or cleaning. Store in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to help care for the cast iron.
Please note: As this is a handmade product, dimensions, finish and texture may vary slightly between individual pieces. Handles may be finished in either black or natural metal and are supplied at random.

Incense burners, cauldrons, trays and their contents may become hot during use. Always place your burner or holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. When using charcoal or a vessel that becomes very hot, use an insulating trivet or tile underneath.
Burn incense in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Ensure incense sticks, cones, Palo Santo and other burning materials are positioned securely so that hot ash or embers fall within the burner or tray rather than onto surrounding surfaces.
Never leave burning or smouldering incense unattended. Keep incense, burners and hot charcoal away from children and pets.
When using charcoal, handle charcoal discs with suitable tongs and avoid touching or moving the burner while hot. Allow the burner, charcoal, ash and incense residue to cool completely before handling, cleaning or disposal.
Different materials retain and respond to heat differently. Only use your burner or holder with the types of incense described in its individual product listing, and follow any additional care instructions provided there.
