—Trivets were not only stands for pots, but also for cooking over fires, and for lifting food inside pots when roasting. Those shown here are mainly for table protection from hot pots used to serve food. The arrowhead shaped ones were for irons, which were commonly heated on top of a stove before use, and needed a safe place to rest when they were still hot. This kind of trivet has fallen almost completely out of use.
