<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1585387, member: 6444&quot;]I can&#039;t see it as a trophy base? Why would it have a hollow opening with a tightly fitting cover with rubber gasket (lid was stuck until I put it in boiling water).</p><p><br /></p><p>You could be right about the manufacturer mark, but I don&#039;t know why anyone would bother to add the maker marking. If correct it shows it was made by James Dixon after 1920 which is when the Ltd was added to the company name. I think my pics were misleading since I didn&#039;t show how tiny that writing is (corrected below) - it is less than one mm tall. And it would have been hand done even if done at the factory since it couldn&#039;t be stamped on the hammered surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was also wrong about how much liquid or powder it holds when the top is removed. It is only 7cm deep to the bottom, except the center is not the real bottom since the sides slope away and are much deeper. So it really holds 1-1/3 cup (0.32 liter) which is much more than I thought. Water doesn&#039;t come out of it easily so maybe for a solid and not liquid - small opening so it glugs and sputters.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]231377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]231378[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
