    Welcome Christina! You've got your Gallery Album set to Private, so no one can see your picture. If you go back and change it to Public, I'm sure you will get comments.

    Can you get a picture of the inside? My first thought is some kind of warmer. Something is held in those forks, and flammable liquid goes in the little pot.

    Thank you. A warmer. Oil in the little pot then a wick - the lid would then act as the snuffer. As to what is being warmed or even burned...?

    Well, I can see it as a little oil burner... but what is the fork apparatus for?
