I guess that the wooden caddy is used like a trivet to place the teapot on to protect whatever is underneath. This farm kitchen had only a small wood fire for cooking, so there would be no room to leave the teapot on the grill when other meals were being prepared..
This week we have photos of the ancient Khmer temples around Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

I like that beautiful handmade tea caddie. It has a lovely patina and shape.
This makes a wonderful "still life".
Well, I'm ready for a spot of tea!
Sure, the term works. Are cut flowers alive or dead? I like this because it's as tipico as it gets in rural Costa Rica.
This is a very nice, simple image. If you want to call it a still life, it is a still life. I don't have a better term.
great image of regular tico life. and now i do want a cup of tea
I can understand a slab of wood used as a trivet, but it's the bag hanging over it that I find intriguing. I don't see any kind of hinge to lower it into the pot.
