40-inch Marseille fire bowl: a broad, low concrete dish for a wide patio
The American Fyre Designs 40-inch Marseille fire bowl is a broad, very shallow round dish, 40 inches across and about 11 inches tall, with a thin rim and a gently sloping profile. It is cast in concrete reinforced with glass fibers, which looks like stone at a fraction of the weight, and comes in seven colors.
Order it for natural gas or propane. It has a 16 inch stainless steel star burner rated around 65,000 BTU. Turn the knob and press the igniter to light it, or add the Fyrestarter Bluetooth control and start it from your phone. The burner, pan, fittings, and lava granules are included, and you pick the fill on the page: lava, fire glass, or glass gems. A cover and a side table that hides a propane tank are optional.

FAQ
How tall does the 40-inch Marseille stand?
Eleven inches, on a dish 40 inches across. The proportions stay true to the Marseille formula – a wide, shallow saucer holding fire close to the ground – but at this width the bowl stops being an accent and starts being the organizing feature of whatever space it sits in.
Where does the 40 sit within the Marseille series?
Second from the top. The series runs 24, 32, 40, and 48 inches across, and the 40 is the step where the dish gains real hosting scale while remaining easier to place than the four-foot flagship. If a 32 feels slight for your space and a 48 feels like a commitment, this is the size in between.
Which Marseille actually sits the tallest?
This one, quietly. At 11 inches the 40 stands slightly taller than even the 48-inch dish, which sits at 10.5, and well above the 8.5-inch 32. The differences are small – every Marseille remains emphatically low – but if you want the most lift this series offers under a wide flame, the 40 is it.
What hardware produces and controls the flame?
A 16-inch stainless steel star burner does the producing, and you choose the controls: the standard manual flame sensing control or the optional Bluetooth-enabled FyreStarter electronic ignition. The bowl is certified to ANSI standards in either configuration, so the decision is about day-to-day convenience rather than compliance.
Can I get the 40-inch Marseille as a propane model?
Yes – it is offered in propane and natural gas versions, ordered to suit your site. Propane frees the dish from plumbing entirely, which suits the sculptural, place-it-where-it-looks-best spirit of the design. See the store’s other propane fire bowls if you are building the whole patio around tank-fed features.
Is a 40-inch dish enough fire for a sectional arrangement?
Generally, yes. A wraparound sectional creates a wide seating front, and the 40-inch dish matches that breadth better than smaller bowls, putting flame within view of every cushion. Center it on the sectional’s opening with a walking gap at the rim and the arrangement balances – large seating, appropriately large fire.
What furniture styles suit the Marseille’s minimalist form?
Anything with clean lines and honest materials. The dish’s sleek, contemporary geometry pairs naturally with low-profile modern seating, monochrome cushions, and simple stone or concrete hardscape; it will also sharpen a more traditional patio by playing against it. What it never needs is ornament – the plain saucer and open flame are the statement.
