Small Oval Cast Iron Cauldron, 1¾"

Cast iron. Fireproof, dense, and essentially permanent.

Oval form, 1.75 in tall. The shelf's smallest worker.

Single-working scale. One cone, one pinch, one charge.

• Material: cast iron; approximately 1 3/4 in H x 3 in L x 2 1/4 in W
• Use on a heat-safe surface; iron conducts heat, so handle after cooling
• Care: dry thoroughly after any water contact and oil lightly to prevent rust
• SKU: ICBR93

Every cauldron shelf needs its miniature, and this oval is the family's: too small for coven work and exactly right for the workings that are, honestly, most of a solitary practice, one incense cone burned at the desk, a pinch of loose herb smoldering through a short working, a mini votive charged and contained, the ash of one petition. Cast iron gives even the tiny version the material's full virtues, fireproof, durable, and better with age, and the oval footprint tucks into altar corners a round pot cannot. The 2¾" lidded plain and the decorated siblings scale the family up from here. The pot transforms nothing on its own, as we say plainly of every vessel; it holds one small fire safely, which is the cauldron's whole ancient job at its smallest.

1. Burn one cone or a pinch of herb on a thin ash or sand bed.
2. Set it on a heat-safe surface and let it cool before handling.
3. Dry after water contact and oil lightly against rust.

• Plain Cast Iron Cauldron with Lid, 2¾": the lidded step up.
• Triquetra Cast Iron Cauldron, 4½": the family's decorated large.
• Sandalwood Incense Cones by EE: cones for the little pot.

What fits in it?

One working's worth: a single incense cone, a pinch of smoldering herb, a mini votive, or one petition's ash.

Is it safe for flame?

Yes: cast iron is fully fireproof. Use a heat-safe surface beneath it and let it cool before handling.

How do I prevent rust?

Dry thoroughly after water and wipe with a light coat of oil now and then; cast iron's only ask.
