The use
Amber
had always been used as primitive decoration (e.g. rings, necklaces). Later
in the Roman Empire, it was put into the coffin of dead people to ease
their journey. Even the Vikings traded with amber and in the 17th century
the Russian Tsar even had his own amber room. The fine powder, which can
be produced, is said to be a remedy to keep if people have problems with
their ears or eyes or a high temperature.
These nice "Terracotta candles" create a romantic atmosphere, not only
in cold winter evenings. After the candle is burning down, these
little pots, painted with coast typical motives, can be used as flower-pot
or you just put a new candle in it.
These
little pocket warmers are very useful just now in the winter. By pressing
the piece of metal inside the warmer, the liquid changes its condition.
During this process the warmer generates heat (about 55°C) for nearly
an hour. And so you can put in your gloves to warm your hands. Of course,
you can use it as often as you want to. You only have to put the "Magic
heats" into boiling water for a short time. After that they are "recharged".
It is really very helpful to have a pocket warmer in such cold winter days.
