The ceramics stove, the eighteenth-century equivalent of a radiator, was often designed to be part of a room's architecture and decoration. The body was made of a special clay composition that could withstand the heat of gases that circulated from a firebox located in the wall, or in an adjoining room.
Kachelofen (German for "tile stove") is a relatively large home heater surrounded with ceramic tile, has existed for at least five centuries. During the Renaissance period, the builders of stoves were part of a distinct trade and were called hafnermeister. A stove uses a maze-like passage created out of firebrick to release gases and smoke from the wood fire slowly, allowing the firebrick to retain as much heat as possible from the gases and smoke. The ceramic tile surrounding the stove also acts as insulation to retain heat

This stove is made in Sweden in mid 18th century. It features Delft blue ceramic tiles with various landscape and castle motifs. In the middle there are 9 stunning tiles that depict gilded vase with flower bouquet.
