Funny, I have 2.....both charcoal or wood fueled.
The brass one is from my mom who bought it in SF Chinatown 45 years ago and she had dried plants in it for years.
The copper one I got 5 years ago at an auction...the guy who bought it for $5 bucks prior to my arrival had no clue as to what it was.....I gave him a 20 and told him.....we were both happy.
That being said, they are a pain to use....really cool but adjusting the heat and having a table you can have LIVE fire on is an issue. they are entertaining and the little baskets are still readily available. |
