Ok. Daft question, but anyway...
When I lived in Munich we had a large VB tea pot warmer in white ceramic that you put tealights in and stand your teapot on to keep it warm. It was also large enough to stand a small casserole dish or dinner plate on. I'm looking for something similar but don't know what it might be called in German. Can anyone help? Pretty please.
Cheers

Villeroy and Boch teapot warmers
Info on what they're called in German
Not a daft question at all.
You're looking for a Stövchen. Cute, eh? The German word Rechaud also means a warmer, but is usually a larger one suitable for dishes.

Stoevchen is the right word. Even in some areas in Germany they are not aware of that word.
Now my mom is a tea fanatic and she has these teapot warmers in every brand, whether it be Rosenthal, Villeroy and Boch etc. They are called "Teewärmer" in German.
