This Orthodox cresset

The Orthodox hanging brass cresset represents the essence of the art of making religious objects and is exceptionally made of high-quality brass, a metal that symbolizes longevity, strength and undeniable beauty. The cresset is composed of two parts, each with its own unique design and function.

The lower part of the cresset is designed to support a red refractory cup, which is used to hold the oil. This cup, made of high temperature resistant material, contains a float with a wick, which allows the oil to burn gradually, giving the cresset a longer life. The oil-soaked wick, when lit, emits a calm and soothing light, while the red color of the glass provides a mystical and warm atmosphere. The lower part of the cresset is decorated with crosses, fine details that add layers of meaning and beauty, while at the same time symbolizing faith and commitment.

The upper part of the cresset acts as a cover for the lower part and the red cup. It is made, like the rest of the cresset, from shiny brass. Its function is twofold: it provides protection from the wind or any external disturbance that could threaten the stability of the flame, and at the same time it serves as an artistic detail that complements the overall aesthetic impression. At the top of this cover is a stylized cross, which is discreetly but effectively emphasized. The cross, as the most recognizable symbol of Orthodoxy, brings a strong spiritual significance to this subject.

Overall, this Orthodox hanging brass cresset is not only a functional object, but also a symbol of spiritual dedication and artistic passion. Through every detail, from the cross on the bottom to the stylized cross on the lid, this cresset exudes deep religious meaning and aesthetic elegance.
