tiled kitchen table
A gasbord was designed to support an enamel frame with one or two gas burners, and to stand up to hot pans being lifted from the burner and placed beside it on the table top.
The table consisted of a metal frame and usually a ceramic tiled top.
There was often an open shelf below the table top for storing pans etc. when they were not in use. The gas burner was entirely separate, simply connected to the gas supply by a rubber tube, so the tables can be used in many ways once the burner is removed.
Being very solid and impervious to water, they are good as stands for large pot plants or other heavy-duty purposes.

Dana Sackett Lössl
: This was the original use, although today they are often used decoratively for plants etc. - even outdoors, so I suppose it all depends on the novel's setting and year. You could also consider "stand" instead of table.

gasbordet
gasbord | lex.dk – Den Store Danske
denstoredanske.lex.dk › gasbord
Gasbord, mindre jernbord ofte beklædt med kakler, oprindeligt til brug i køkkenet. Bordet er som regel forsynet med en underliggende hylde til henstilling samt kroge eller stænger til viskestykker, grydelapper m.m. På gasbordet anbragtes ét til flere mobile gasapparater. Senere erstattedes gasbordet ofte af gaskomfuret.
I dag er de oprindelige gasborde med kakler eftertragtede som stillebensbord, sengebord, alternativt barskab, entrébord, anretterbord eller plantebord i haven. Derfor købes gasborde ofte nyproducerede, men i en tro kopi af de oprindelige borde.
