Unique Silver Chafing Dish On the saucer sits a removable silver cup 1-3/4" in diameter by 1-1/4" high. It has a lid through which a wick extends. The cup can be filled with fuel and the burning wick keeps the tea or coffee warm. I have seen a number of these carafes on ebay but absolutely never with the matching, original silver chafing cup, wick and lid.
