<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9438772, member: 10944"]I purchased a mixed silver lot recently, some coin silver and some plate. This was in it and described as a butter dish. It seems to be a bit overworked to be just a butter dish. Not to mention I’m not sure where the butter goes unless it’s missing something internally? Maybe ice goes in to keep it cold? No drain anywhere. I can’t figure out what’s going on here. I hope someone knows? It weighs over 6lbs and is about 14” handle to handle. Speaking of handles I’d guess it’s missing something/a handle for the lid. The lid is a bit hard to get off without taking the middle piece out with it once it’s on. No marks anywhere on this. Very stoutly made. [ATTACH=full]438173[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]438174[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]438175[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]438176[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
