It is Jade with a wood fitting. The bowl is solid brass that has been repaired once during it's useful period. It is nearly worn through.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I had to get ahold of the Smithsonian Institution for the answer, when a friend gifted me with this, several years ago. How did you know?

wow...that's like the coolest thing.

That is such a neat iron! I would never have guessed what it was.

Thought you put something hot in it but didn't have a clue! Boy, weren't people creative before electricity! Talk about burning your fingers!!! Aren't we lucky to the irons of today?
