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.

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?
