A Censer, incense burner or perfume burner (these may be hyphenated) is a vessel made for burning incense
or perfume in some solid form. These vessels vary greatly in size,
form, and material of construction, and have been in use since ancient
times in many cultures, in both secular and religious contexts. They may
consist of simple earthenware bowls or fire pots to intricately carved silver or gold vessels, small table top objects a few centimeters tall to as many as several meters high. Many designs use openwork to allow a flow of air. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer.
Some types could also be used as pomanders, where the perfume diffuses slowly by evaporation rather than burning.
