Description: | Cast copper-alloy dish-support from a chafing dish. Chafing dishes held burning charcoal and were used at table to keep food warm. The support has a flat top, so is most like Lewis's Type D, which Lewis dates to the 16th century. The metal is greyish and smoothly polished, and the dish-support is quite thick at 6 mm; but the scars at the base show the metal of the dish itself to have been remarkably thin and, presumably, fragile.
