Originally a trivet was a three-legged stand placed in front of fire on which to put pots and utensils, in use from the seventeenth century. They were usually made of wrought iron, and later of brass. However, the use of the word has been extended to include any type of stand to place a hot object on, such as a teapot, iron or jug to prevent the heat reaching the surface underneath. They may be made from ceramic, silver, wood or brass.
