It takes cones directly and sticks pushed into a bed of ash or sand, which is the traditional method and the one that catches the ash properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl form is more forgiving than a flat plate, because ash falls inward rather than spreading across the surface it is standing on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Zodiac Moon Phases Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design combines the phases of the moon with zodiac marks, two systems for tracking time that predate any calendar we now use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is on the interior face of the bowl, so it is visible when the bowl is empty and partly covered once ash builds up. Emptying it regularly keeps the design showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAluminium \u0026amp; Enamel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is spun aluminium with the design set in coloured enamel. Aluminium does not rust and does not tarnish the way brass does, so it stays as it is with very little attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enamel is inlaid rather than printed on top, which is why the colour sits flush with the metal and does not lift at the edges with handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor cones, place the cone in the centre of the bowl and light the tip. For sticks, part fill the bowl with sand or ash and push the stick in at a slight angle so ash falls into the bowl rather than beyond it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use it on a heatproof surface. The base warms with a burning cone, and a bowl that has been in use should be left to cool before it is moved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSize \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 130g. Empty the ash once cool and wipe with a dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrush ash off dry before any wet cleaning, since wet ash becomes a paste that stains. Avoid abrasives on the enamel, which will dull the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554824491272,"sku":"eib-12","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS9TSi82RC82MFIzMEMxRzZXVEs2RFNKL2RhY2JhOGJiLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1787826939","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/enamel-incense-bowl-aluminum-zodiac-moon-phases936","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
