Found in England, these charming antique ceramic bed warmers are a beautiful reminder of pre-modern domestic life, when thoughtful craftsmanship and simple rituals brought comfort to the home. Traditionally filled with hot embers or boiling water and placed between bed linens, bed warmers were used from the 18th through early 19th centuries to gently heat bedding before sleep—long before central heating became common.
Crafted from fired ceramic, this piece was designed to retain heat safely while being durable enough for daily use. Over time, it has developed a soft patina and surface character that speaks to its age and history, making it as visually compelling as it is meaningful.
No longer needed for their original purpose, antique bed warmers lend themselves beautifully to modern styling. Their sculptural shape and historic charm make them ideal as:
Decorative accents on shelves, mantels, or consoles
Vessels for dried botanicals or branches
Unique planters or tabletop objects
Collected objects in kitchens, bedrooms, or living spaces
Their neutral ceramic tones and organic form allow them to blend effortlessly into both minimalist and layered interiors.
Measurements
8” diameter, 9” wide at handle, 3.25” tall
Notes on Condition:
Item is sold as untested, and it’s uncertain if the vessel will still retain water.
