Totally agree.  Need to see the pics of the inside of the warmer and the underside of both the warmer and the kettle!  Thanks!

What's a spirit stand?  I didn't unleash anything when I opened it, right?  Here's the only other pics I have of it.  (It's at work)  I couldn't find any markings on it, when I took the pics.

a heat source will have been placed in the bottom...e.g, little tea light ..see link...or flammable gel..hence the reason there are holes in the cup...to allow air in .and this would keep the kettle warm..
