It looks like it’s meant to sit under a kettle on a frame or some food heating or medical unit. Cheers Tony
Option 1, Tony, per the photo in the original post- quite a nice trivet/stand. I'm impressed by the flame! A serious oldie and it's back alive! @Clogger I'm not a good judge of richness in a photo. Does it leave any soot on the kettle? Most alcohol stoves will. Adding a little water in the metho (around 5% but it's a suck-and-see number) slows the burn, allowing cleaner burning with the same air mix.
Hi I’m using meths and the there is no soot on the pan. 2 more photos, including a pan with boiling water. Still no idea of its name or history etc??
