It’s funny to me how some things become so much more interesting when they are scaled down. Bigger is not always better and less is certainly more.  I find that particularly true when considering these diminutive firebowls by Ponkk.

This little guy (known as the Frog King) is only 9 inches wide and just a bit over a foot tall.   It burns briquets and small sticks and would be perfect for an outdoor party (where I think a bubbling pot of fondue sitting on top would be an excellent addition).

Slightly bigger (but still quite tailored) is the ‘Bud’ pit (modeled after a budding flower).  I imagine a pair of these on plinths framing a path or at the corners of a patio.

But I think my most favorite is this little princess pit (which, for obvious reasons is called the Crown).  It is a foot wide and just barely over a foot tall.  Perfect for the center of a table and easy to move around to where ever you might want a sweet little flame.  

Ponkk has some other interesting fire features that are well worth checking out.  All are handmade, quite reasonably priced, and each expresses a unique charm.
