Go ethnic with the dramatic Wynd Dragon Fire Bowl

You like life ethnic, colourful and dramatic? Not a problem. Some of our firebowls are the ultimate in sleek contemporary design. Others tick the alternative box to give you lots of authentic ethnic styling. Let’s take a good look at a fabulously curvy and complex fire bowl, the Wynd Dragon Fire Bowl, a Centic inspired model that lets the flames shine through. The effect is sheer pleasure.

What do you love best about an alfresco fire? Is it the lovely heat it gives off? Is it the look of the BBQ, chimenea or firebowl? Is it the way it attracts people like moths to a flame? The fire itself is what a lot of people love best about outdoor entertainment and alfresco leisure. And no wonder, when humans have gathered around open fires for hundreds of thousands of years.

It’s the flickering of the flames, which creates wonderful patterns to draw you in, mesmerised. It’s the beautiful colours, the golds and reds and oranges of a real fire. The comfort of the warmth you get, and the way it pulls people inwards to stand around the source of the heat.

This stunning Wynd Dragon fire bowl features a beautiful Celtic-inspired theme, a curvy dragon wound around the fat belly of the chiminea in 3d. We’re not sure how they do it. Do they carve the dragon out of the clay by hand? Do they add it on top of a plain body, a large 3d clay ‘sprig’ like they use to make classic Wedgewood pottery? Or is the whole fire pit moulded? It’d be interesting to know.

However the makers do it, the effect is spectacular during the day and even more dramatic after dark. The cut-out clay patterns at the dragon’s mouth let you see the flickering flames inside. This adds even more excitement to outdoor occasions. You feel closer to the fire, more intimately connected with it. And that feels good.

Humans and fire go together like strawberries and cream. We can’t resist the lure of real flames. The scent of burning fuel, the sight of the fire, it all taps into our distant past. If you don’t love an open fire you’re a rare animal! When you do, this lovely Mexican clay fire pit will meet all of your expectations and more.
