Bukhoor achieved! The Turkish censer was too fiddly even with the chain, or rather I don't have the cultural memory on how to handle it well, so went with what's probably a family heirloom at this point, a Malay-style one. The big one is where the whole charcoal and incense/oud goes in, the smaller one is where you store the resins, oud, or incense. The tray is also heavy. Pretty sure the whole thing is bronze but I'm just guessing.

Anyway unlocked family lore on how one of my Arab aunts uses them in the mornings.
