Does anyone recognize this Portual sterling mark?

[bob925]

Can anyone give me any information about this mark. I can not find it in any of my marks books. The dish measures about 12" square and is quite heavy.

Hello,
Don't drop it! Think your dish is porcelain with a thin plated deposit of silver.

the item weighs almost 4.5 lbs. has a solid metal sound. have you seen a similar item with puro 95.7%.

I stand corrected, it is solid tin.
