    The mark reads Germany to me.
    The side protrusions may have been support knobs that held the pot in position on a stand. Called tilting tea kettle. (or teapot)

    The tilting ones on a stand are also sometimes called a "spirit kettle." My impression from seeing fancy silver ones is that they held only hot water, kept hot by sitting over a "spirit burner" (think Sterno.)
