Lume and Wick bowls provide multipurpose vessels accommodating diverse aromatherapy applications including potpourri presentation, wax melt warming dishes, essential oil stone diffusion, dried botanical displays, and decorative aromatic bead arrangements through thoughtfully proportioned depths, diameters, and material compositions balancing aesthetic appeal with functional performance.
Our decorative bowl collection encompasses shallow 8-inch diameter ceramic dishes with 2-inch depths ideal for displaying colorful potpourri mixtures visible from above, deep 5-inch wooden bowls carved from sustainable mango wood and acacia featuring natural grain patterns perfect for aromatic beads and dried herbs, heat-resistant stoneware warming bowls with 4-inch depths accommodating tea light candles beneath wax melt inserts, hand-hammered copper bowls developing rich patina over time adding vintage character to modern interiors, and carved soapstone vessels with naturally porous surfaces absorbing and releasing essential oils through passive diffusion.
Material properties determine suitable applications with glazed ceramic providing non-porous waterproof surfaces for fresh potpourri requiring occasional misting, unglazed terracotta offering breathable moisture regulation ideal for dried botanicals, heat-treated soapstone withstanding direct flame exposure from tea lights, and sealed hardwoods resisting essential oil penetration preventing wood degradation.
Dimensional variety ranges from compact 3-inch accent bowls suited for bathroom vanities and bedside tables to substantial 12-inch centerpiece bowls commanding dining table and console attention. Artisan craftsmanship includes hand-thrown pottery with organic asymmetrical rims, wood turning creating smooth polished interiors contrasting natural bark exteriors, and stone carving revealing mineral veining and crystalline inclusions.
Bowl pricing reflects artisan labor and material quality: $12.99 for machine-produced ceramic dishes, $24.99 for hand-carved wooden vessels, $34.99 for hammered metal bowls, and $48.99 for premium carved stone pieces.
