Aeras Bronze Lace Charcoal Holder And Ash Tray
Description
The Kaloud Aeras Bronze Lace is a combined charcoal holder and ash tray, so lit coals and spent ones both have somewhere to sit. The pierced bronze lace pattern lets air move around resting charcoal instead of smothering it.
Two problems solved by one object. Lit coals waiting to go on the bowl need airflow or they die. Spent coals need somewhere heatproof to land. Most people improvise both with a saucer.
The lace pattern is functional before it is decorative. Airflow underneath keeps a resting coal alive and ready.

Why airflow matters
A lit coconut cube sitting on a flat solid surface loses its underside. Starve it of air and it goes patchy, which is why the first coal rotation of a session often disappoints.
Pierced metal keeps air moving under the coal so it stays evenly lit until you need it.
Care
Let it cool fully before handling. Empty the ash, wipe it out, rinse if needed and dry it before storing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rest lit coals on it?
Yes. That is what it is built for, and the pierced pattern keeps them lit.
Does it work as an ashtray too?
Yes. It handles both jobs.
Will it discolor?
Repeated heat will change the finish over time. That is normal for any metal charcoal holder.
Do I need one if I already have a Lotus?
They do different jobs. The Lotus manages heat on the bowl, this is where coals sit before and after.
