<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 11018755, member: 91417&quot;]It looks like a teapot (or coffeepot?) on a warming stand (AJ&#039;s kompoor).&nbsp; I do not understand how it could be an lantern--it looks like solid clay. The only places light could emerge would be through the holes in the stand--just dots of light, nothing to light the surrounding space. And what would be the point of a solid structure (the teapot) on a lantern?&nbsp; Presuming the fire was in the base, the pot would have to lack a bottom for light to enter the pot, where the only perforation is the spout.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speculation: Could it be a translation misunderstanding?&nbsp; That lantern (a place for fire that spreads light to the surrounding area) was used for what we would call a warming stand/kompoor (a place for fire to heat the pot)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
