1. Her. Guarnição metálica dos brasões, formada de pequenas peças azuis e prateadas que se encaixam de forma alternada. (Aulete Digital)
Vair (/vɛər/; from Latin varius "variegated"), originating as a processed form of squirrel fur, gave its name to a set of different patterns used in heraldry. Heraldic vair represents a kind of fur common in the Middle Ages, made from pieces of the greyish-blue backs of squirrels sewn together with pieces of the animals' white underbellies. Vair is the second-most common fur in heraldry, after ermine. (...) [The squirrel in question] was sewn together in alternating cup-shaped pieces of back and belly fur, resulting in a pattern of grey-blue and grey-white which, when simplified in heraldic drawing and painting, became blue and white in alternating pieces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vair
variegate: (v) alter in appearance, especially by adding different colors. ("Oxford Languages Dictionary" and Google)
I couldn't find a single example with "vairy boiler" (although this seems to be a more precise translation). I suggest "variegated" as a second choice.

By context, I presume caldeira is a cauldron rather than a boiler |

D. Violante foi filha de Lopo Fernandes Pacheco e de sua mulher D. Maria Gomes Taveira. Casou em segundas núpcias - porquanto já então era viúva de Martim Vasques da Cunha, 6º senhor da Tábua - com D. Diogo Afonso de Sousa. Sucedeu-lhe no senhorio de Mafra e Ericeira, do qual foi desapossada (1357), por ser irmã de um dos assassinos de Inês de Castro, e novamente nele empossada por D. Pedro I (27 de agosto de 1362). A sua arca tumular é em tudo semelhante à de seu marido. Apenas nos escudos heráldicos se regista diferença: na cabeceira as armas dos Sousas de Arronches, aos pés as caldeiras veiradas e contraveiradas dos Pachecos. Lateralmente, ao centro de novo o escudo dos Sousas de Arronches ladeado por dois dos Pachecos: de ouro, duas caldeiras de preto, três vezes faixadas de veiros de vermelho e ouro, com as asas veiradas do mesmo e serpentíferas, postas uma sobre a outra.
