But Grasscarp, this has little legs and feet, so you wouldn't be able to slide it around to warm the bed. I don't actually know what it is, but I'd be very surprised if it WAS a bedwarmer. If I'm wrong, then please accept my apologies well in advance;-) x
Horseshoes - the burner would be separate and the dish would stand on it, the type of thing they would have used at places like Downton Abbey. Having said that it is perhaps a bit small, I just looked at the picture and didn't notice the size!
