The set is constructed primarily from copper with brass accents, including the pot handle, warmer feet, and vented top plate. The pot features a tapered body with a tin-lined interior and a spout for pouring. The fitted copper lid is finished with a turned wooden finial. Both the pot and warmer handles are wrapped in decorative wicker for heat insulation, with the pot handle displaying a lighter tone than the warmer handle. The copper bowl of the warming stand features decorative flame-shaped apertures for ventilation. The base of the pot bears an impressed maker's mark within a circular area of heat-induced oxidation, though the mark is not clearly legible. Height approx. 23 cm (measured against a ruler) Diameter of warming stand approx. 12.5 cm (measured against a ruler). Condition: The set is in good vintage condition with an aged patina and light surface scratches consistent with age. Minor spots of verdigris are visible around the rim of the pot and lid. The wicker wrapping is largely intact with only minor wear. Significant heat-related discolouration and carbon deposits are present on the base of the pot and within the warming stand from previous use.
