DescriptionWine warmer is a cylindrical shape with an outer housing for the hot water and an inner lidded wine pot with a small spout that protrudes out at the top of the assembled piece. Each section has a brass handle on the top that attaches to two rounded elements with loops. There is a band of brass edging on the top of both sections as well as at the bottom of the outer section. The outer section is separated into three decorative bands by two ridges with incised lines. Bands are incised with Chinese characters, landcape scene, boat, flowers, bird and pine branches.Status
