Actually, I think this could be a fondue pot straight from the middle ages. It holds both chocolate and cheese. Can be used in dip-it-yourself mode, or use the handy dipping arm.

This appears to be a rare, desktop model Appalachian moonshine still, complete with an attachment to add fruit or chocolate flavoring. Very desirable in mountain society circles.

An early Victorian herbal air freshener/sinus reliever/tea brewer/poultice maker. As herbs are simmered, the released steam scents the air and creates vapors that clear the sinus cavity. The resulting hot liquid may be taken as tea, or used to soak bandages to be applied as a poultice. Very refreshing, indeed.
