    A "cassolette" refers to a refined container, often made of gilt bronze, marble, porcelain, or other precious materials, intended for burning perfumes or to decorate refined interiors of the 18th and 19th centuries.
    Historically, these objects were used either as incense burners (to diffuse scents) or as potpourris containing macerations of flowers, spices, or scented salts. These objects were frequently placed on mantelpieces or incorporated into furniture as decorative elements, reflecting the olfactory refinement and art of living of the wealthy classes of the time. Some cassolettes also served as fireplace decorations.
