mark4445,

I do not know exactly how it is, but I know appointment.
The lower tray is put anything that burns, such as dry alcohol and in a bowl on top in oil is meat or other dish. The device is designed to keep food warm. Its predecessor, the modern deep fryers.

The assay master completely agree with Sergejnovo (Postnikov-Losev, stamp number 2121, Olex Leo F., denounced in Moscow from 1990 to 1996).
In my opinion, the work of the Third Moscow Artel.
Monogram - owner.
Apparently, not so noble he was.
Boss stuff.

Ikornitsa is an interesting idea, but that's about the lost part of the ice will not agree, there is a bottom space is less than two, see, there hardly could hold a small fragment of ice, and then no additional capacity.

I think this is a banal salt with stand, and the "tray" grounds could put a spoonful of salt.

Theory heated - nice, but, as mentioned above:
- Would bloat the upper object;
- Little room for "fuel" element;
- Except that the object will be heated, which in general is dangerous. You can accidentally get burned, drop the table and set fire to the tablecloth. Open fire on the table is questionable, given the small size of the object. Again, given the size of such object in table layout was supposed to be in every guest.

On the "spirit-lamp" does not seem, though in the beginning it seemed that something similar could be used to keep honey in warmed /soluble.
In those days, bake, rich bread without filling in the form of pampushek. They dipped it in the warmed honey. In short, one of my grandmothers used to do that.

On the basis must be the same stigma. They have? On the "3A" does not seem likely mirror "AZ", such hallmarks met.

Just do not ikornitsa, since it was originally adopted another form.
