Curious and rare lithophane in the form of a magic lantern, used as a tea heater (tea warmer), and created by one of the most prestigious lithophane workshops in France. Each of the four faces of this object shows a lithophane with different religious images. A candle was placed inside, which illuminated the lithophanes and also kept the teapot on top warm.
