This "Brazier" was created in 1783 by Dutch silversmith Cornelis Hendrik Bömcke (1758-1818). The piece is a circular, copper, and silver brazier with a raised rim and four legs. The piece is approximately 7.4 cm in height and 23 cm in diameter. The design is simple yet elegant, showcasing the silversmith's craftsmanship and the use of contrasting metals. The brazier's purpose was to hold burning charcoal or embers, used for warming hands or keeping food warm during meals.

The simple form of this brazier is informed entirely by its function. The copper basin held glowing coals to keep hot the water in the kettle placed on the ring.
