Looks like the idea was for the air to freely circulate, so...Potpourri? or, perhaps something HOT went inside, and then radiated HEAT? Any clues? F&W!

Yes thats what I was thinking, maybe tea? Thank you, I fanned back!

I think it is a incense burner and possibly the type a priest might have used ?
just my opinion and food for thought?

Thats a good possibility!
It could be used for so many different things, thanks for the interest!

I believe it's a smudge pot use in farming to help keep frost off fruit trees in orchards. Fireplace starters are similar but usually have a pumice on a long stick but I don't believe those have holes.

Wow, thanks for the insight!
It could very well be a smudge pot!
I love trying to figure out the story behind unique items and have alot of different thoughts about this one!
