Solid Brass Vintage Incense Burner w/ Insert

This vintage solid brass incense burner features a minimalist round lidded design with a removable perforated charcoal insert. Compact yet weighty, it offers a traditional method for burning resin, cone, or charcoal-based incense. The lid fits snugly over the top, while the inner insert allows airflow beneath charcoal discs to ensure an even burn.

Crafted from solid brass with a warm patina, this piece likely dates to the mid-20th century and may originate from India or the Middle East, where similar forms are used in ceremonial and home fragrance settings. The removable iron insert shows some light surface rust from age and use, adding authenticity and character.
