Heavy Antique French Soupier, Soup Server, c.1850s, "Etain", White Metal, Crest oil painting 5" wide and 1" thickFabulous antique French kitchen and dining table ware in what they call "Etain", a heavy white metal that is more the everyday Country type. I have had a lot of this mixed in shelf display with blue white antique plates, platters, etain coffee pots, sugar bowls, and I love the look. Haven't ever put it to use, but certainly one could. The family crest you see lets you know it's from a family of note. Perhaps used in the servants quarters. Informally
