I've went through a handful of small censers, none of which had a good airflow and the charcoal would extinguish early - not the case with this one!
It does get hot, so be careful, I keep mine on a slate coaster.
A great addition to my prayer corner.
This Brass Censer with pillard base is beautiful and it works great. It has holes in the top and bottom for better ventilation. It does get very hot, just like any other small hand censer and needs to be put on something heat proof to keep from damaging whatever it is placed on.
It was beautiful, and arrived quickly. The person to whom it was gifted to was delighted.
Tips from a few years of use:
1. It's a bit of a set and don't touch situation as everything gets hot enough to burn you after a couple minutes
2. As such, make sure you put it on a suitable surface, as even the base gets very hot, even too hot to touch with bare hands
3. Be careful not to burn yourself 😁 🙏
As describe, it is what I expected to receive. Nice brass censer.
