[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9599614, member: 84"]I found this today at a small 2nd hand/thrift store on my way home from my regular thrift store. The first thing that got me was how Heavy it is!! I almost dropped it when I first picked it up! The 2nd thing - and it made me think it might have some age to it & was not a new knock off, was 1 of the elephant head handles has spots of deterioration/wear/age(?) So I bought it for $50. When I got it home I took photos to post here hoping to find out about it (image search didn't turn up anything similar) and found a mark on the inside of the base - a crown with 1897 in it. But a image search of that didn't turn up anything the same either? A few questions - what is this called? (a tureen?) Has anyone seen the mark before? Is it old - like 1897 old? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
