Details
The burning of incense was an integral part of Roman votive rituals, allowing supplicants to make offerings to the gods from whom they desired patronage and protection.
The petitioner would place a lump of burning coal in the burner's upper bowl. On top of this would be placed the resin or herbs that would smoulder gently and produce sweet-smelling smoke. Frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon, and rosemary were among the incense used during these rituals.
Please be aware that using this product will result in wear, staining and potential damage to the item; this will have been considered perfectly normal to the Romans, who would have expected to replace these items from time to time.

Production
We have hand-made this replica Roman pot in our studio in beautiful Northumberland, based on an original artefact. It has been heated between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius, using the same techniques that the original potters employed. This process often results in surface colour and texture variations, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot its unique character.
