Heavy Antique French Soupier, Soup Server, c.1850s, "Etain", White Metal, Crest oil painting and the variety is partFabulous antique French kitchen and dining table ware in what they call "Etain", a heavy white metal that is more the everyday Country type.

The family crest you see lets you know it's from a family of note. Perhaps used in the servants quarters. Informally
