Canteen cup.


Canteen cup stove (6.5 cm high).


Canteen cup nestled in stove.
Precise fit so tapered cup slides only so far down into open stove top and the combination is stable.


Roman cup.

The dodecahedrons are in the size range. Various size holes would accommodate various size cup bases. The projections above would help keep cups from tipping over if bumped while the projections below would act as heat sinks to help keep resting surfaces from being scorched. Heat sources (e.g. candles, wood) would have their own platform inside.

It's the Roman version of the one cup coffee maker. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I was thinking along those lines but there is no mention of soot nor color change to the bronze from heating, so I'm less certain.
