The thurible(lid,holes,certain design,nice color) was introduced in the early years of Catholicism. But the censer(any brass,stone,or solid vessel used to burn incense) has existed since ancient times whether it be carried by a handle or suspended from a chain.
A typical censer is a small metal or stone dish used for burning incense, often on small legs. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer. Designs vary from simple, earthenware bowls to intricately carved silver or gold vessels.In the Roman Catholic, Anglo-Catholic, Old Catholic, and some other Churches, a censer is often called a thurible, and used during important offices (benedictions, processions, important masses). A common design for a thurible is a metal container, about the size and shape of a coffee-pot, suspended on chains. The bowl contains hot coals, and the incense is placed on top of these. The thurible is then swung back and forth on its chains, spreading the fragrant smoke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censer thurible It is a thurible. The person carrying it is the thurifer.
