About this item
This Frankoma warming base brings an earthy, sculptural presence with its wavy, flower‑like form designed to keep teapots and casseroles gently warmed.
The center well is shaped to hold a tea light candle or small Sterno, allowing the piece to function as both a practical heat stand and a decorative mid‑century accent. Its organic silhouette and satin earth‑tone glaze reflect Frankoma’s signature use of Oklahoma clay, which gave the company’s mid‑century pottery its recognizable weight and natural color variation. Introduced as part of Frankoma’s accessory line, the WA3 model was designed to pair with teapots, servers, and small casseroles, adding warmth and quiet utility to the table. Styled alone or in use, it brings a grounded, vintage‑modern note to kitchen and dining spaces.
Dimensions are approximately 7.25" diameter and 2.75" tall.
