Is there a name for that cauldron that they use for incense when they consecrate altars?

(And to be clear, I don’t mean the thurible. I’m referring specifically to what looks like a big open platter that they put on top of an altar after it is consecrated with the chrism.)

Also, is that cauldron ever used outside of the consecration for altars?
 
I believe it is called a “brazier.” I have no idea if it’s used otherwise.

Ah. Thanks.

I don’t know why but for some reason I’m under the impression they use this for the Good Friday Liturgy but I don’t really know what I’m talking about 😃

There is a brazier used at the beginning of the Easter Vigil to contain the fire from which the Easter Candle is lit along with the charcoal for the incense.
