Description: Here is a famous and scarcely found design of the original Fondue Pot with warmer in copper and brass with palisander wood handles. The warmer is marked as is the stand for the fondue pot. The brass fondue pot stand is marked with the correct impressed “Made in Austria” and “Auböck” marks on the leg and the bottom of the warmer is also marked that way as shown. An important design.
