Nice find.  I should have known the coffee pot had a warmer.  It seems Gailstyn always included a warmer or caddy whenever possible, but I have never run across this one.  Not my favorite decoration, still a treat to see a complete set.  Thanks for posting.

I saw one of these coffee pots in an antique mall last summer sans stand. It's great to see these pieces complete with the stands. I can't help but admire your Raymor Capri and Iroquois Primaries collection in the background. At least I think that's a Primaries sugar bowl on the top shelf. Cool shape!

Walter Kidde, Inc.

I found some 70s or 80s ?? stoneware by Gailstyn yesterday (not modern, didn't buy) in a box. It said that Gailstyn was a division of Walter Kidde, Inc.

VERY interesting info, Mike, and new to me.  I have a number of Gailstyn things in the box, and have never seen any indication of Walter Kidde, but these pre-date the 70's.  I wonder if they aquired Gailstyn sometime in the 70's.

70s acquisition?

It was news to me, as well. I think it must have been a later acquisition. Just guessing.
