48-inch Marseille fire bowl: the biggest dish in the line, with a propane tank compartment
The American Fyre Designs 48-inch Marseille fire bowl is the largest of the Marseille dishes, a shallow round bowl measuring 48 inches across and 10.5 inches tall, with a thin rim and gently sloping sides. It is cast in concrete reinforced with glass fibers, which looks like stone at a fraction of the weight, and comes in seven colors. The propane version hides the tank in a compartment underneath.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Turn the knob and press the igniter to light it, or add the Fyrestarter Bluetooth control and start it from your phone. The 16-inch stainless steel star burner, pan, fittings, and lava granules are included, and you pick the fill on the page: lava, fire glass, or glass gems. A cover is optional.

FAQ
How low does the 48-inch Marseille sit?
Just 10.5 inches off the ground, on a dish a full 48 inches across – the most horizontal statement in this lineup. Nearly five times as wide as it is tall, it reads less like an appliance and more like a shallow basin of fire set into the landscape itself.
Does the 48 cap the Marseille series?
Yes – the series runs 24, 32, 40, and 48 inches, and this four-foot bowl tops it. Scale changes the job: the smaller dishes accent a space, while the 48 organizes one, holding the center of a courtyard or wide terrace the way a fountain traditionally would.
Why leave so much concrete rim around the burner?
It is composition. The 16-inch star burner sits centered in the 48-inch dish, leaving a broad ring of smooth GFRC that frames the fire the way a wide mat frames a print. That margin of calm concrete is what makes the Marseille read as sculpture; a bowl filled edge to edge with flame would lose the effect entirely.
What fuel arrangements does the 48 Marseille support?
Natural gas and propane versions are both offered. The propane model includes a hidden tank compartment so the cylinder stays out of sight within the piece, preserving the clean dish profile; the natural gas model plumbs to a fixed line. Either way the low silhouette stays uncluttered – nothing external needs to stand beside it.
Which settings call for a four-foot fire dish?
Large ones with strong geometry: paved courtyards, wide pool terraces, long sightlines from the house. The 48 Marseille is scaled to be seen from a distance and approached from all sides, so give it room to breathe rather than tucking it beside seating. Among sculptural fire bowls, it is the one that behaves most like landscape architecture.
Are low fire bowls awkward to light and adjust?
They can ask you to bend, which is why the optional Bluetooth-enabled FyreStarter electronic ignition earns its keep on a dish this low – starting the fire becomes a tap instead of a crouch at the rim. The standard manual flame sensing control is there if you prefer hands-on operation, working exactly as it does across the lineup.
Which burner is installed in the 48-inch dish?
A 16-inch stainless steel star burner, the same wide-pattern burner used across the larger Marseille sizes. Stainless steel stands up to permanent outdoor exposure, and the star’s multiple arms give the flame enough breadth to hold its own in the wide dish. The unit is certified to ANSI standards.
