Vintage 1970s Enamelware Fondue Pot with Burner — Brown & Cream Striped, Wooden Handle

This vintage enamelware fondue pot set dates to the 1970s and features a classic brown and cream color palette with horizontal striping, paired with a turned wooden handle and matching lid. The set includes the fondue pot and coordinating enamelware burner base, making it both functional and highly decorative.

The pot showcases a rounded, bulbous form typical of mid-century fondue designs, with a glossy speckled enamel finish and warm earth-tone accents. The wooden handle and lid knob add a natural element that reflects the era’s blend of rustic and modern design influences.

This piece works beautifully as a functional fondue set or as a styled display item for vintage kitchens, mid-century interiors, or retro entertaining décor.
