Lucille Oka Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Not an open book test, do not use screen shots. What is this? What is the country of origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 How about a clue ... Does the top come off or is it one piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShirley Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Maybe a soup or gravy dish of some kind, and a candle goes in the opening to keep it warm at the table. I'd guess England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 it looks like a food warmer of European origin....possibly Swiss or Austrian. Just a guess. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Oka Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hints: The knob does what knobs do, two of the handles look like "frogs". Answer tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Oka Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yes it is a food warmer from France. Here is one more for you to see, this one is from Italy. Both of these vessels are wonderfully detailed pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 What is it? This looks like a variation of the previous piece, but has a very different function. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia that is a real thing isn't it. Well this is only a very elementary guess. It looks like it could be a scientific apparatus of some sort. How about an early Hofmann apparatus or a distiller? It is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing! It is a vaporizer found in the Medical Museum in Zurich. It was IMO very fascinating. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
