The Antique Zinc Iron Earth Heater Plate is a unique and innovative piece of tableware from the Victorian era. This round blue and white porcelain plate, with a 9.5" diameter, served as a combined function warmer and plate, perfect for heating hot water at the table. It features an opening valve lid and is ideal for collectors of kitchen tools and gadgets, standing as a symbol of kitchen innovation from the early to mid-20th century. Its original design and antique charm make it a valuable addition to any home kitchen.

**There is an area on a small portion of the plate edge that has a singed appearance that could not be removed with conventional cleaners. The warming plate was likely left near the fire to warm the water and singed the plate. Rare and unusual piece.
