A Dutch silver-plated antique tea warmer with a three-legged stand dating to 1900–1910 in Jugendstil style, featuring a cranberry faceted glass bowl and a blue‑and‑white porcelain ring, together with a metal teapot and a fuel burner under the glass, in good condition with minor aging signs.
Description from the seller
An antique tea warmer (also called a tea light or spirit burner) with a matching teapot. These objects were used to keep a teapot warm or to heat water for tea.
Construction: It consists of a metal frame/support with three legs, which places the teapot on an elevated platform.
Heat source: At the bottom, there is a fuel burner (probably for spirit/alcohol, given its small size and the design with the wick-like rotary knob), which generates the heat.
Heat conduction/Decoration: Above the burner, two separate elements are placed.
A pink/cranberry glass bowl with a diamond-cut pattern. This could serve as a heat diffuser, a decorative element, or perhaps to gently disperse the heat from a flame.
A porcelain ring with a hole in the middle, decorated with a blue-and-white Delft or Oriental-inspired pattern (similar to the 'sprinkled flower' or 'onion pattern'). It rests on the metal rim and serves as a support for the teapot, possibly dispersing the heat from the flame.
The teapot itself is made of shiny metal (probably silver-plated), matching the style and size of the holder.
The combination of silver-plated/metalwork, colored, faceted glass, and blue-white porcelain strongly indicates the Victorian period up to the early 20th century (circa 1880-1920). During that time, there was great appreciation for the combination of different materials and ornate, functional tableware.
This specific set with the pink cut glass and the blue-white porcelain is very rare.
Marked with an F but not defined.
The insert glass is missing a piece, but this is not visible once mounted. There are signs of use consistent with its age and a history associated with the object.
Taking photos is an integral part of the description. It is sent insured.
