Terra Cotta Smudge Bowl

This Smudge Bowl is an affordable alternative to our Abalone Shell. It’s made of terra cotta and can resist the heat of an Incense charcoal, however it is recommended to add a layer of sand on the bottom. This layer of sand makes it easier to clean the bowl of the residue after smudging.

How to Burn Incense Resins:

Light the incense charcoal with matches or lighter for about 20 seconds until it self-ignites. Use tongs to hold it up (never hold it with your fingers alone or you might get burned). Place the lit charcoal in the bowl or any incense burner. The bowl or incense burner should be filled with sand or dirt. Let the charcoal warm for a few minutes. (It turns gray around the edges when it is ready) Now you are ready! Add a small amount of incense resin on top of the charcoal. The incense resin will burn and soon release essential, aromatic oils through the smoke. Continue to place resins or powder on charcoal as they burn out and smoke decreases for a continuous burn.
