Hi Kathy, is there any way i can find out what this may be? How much it may worth? where did it come from? It looks like there used to be a label on the bottom but this is how it was when i recieved the dish. i alwasys thought it was a nut cracker and thought anything different. that would make sense thank you Joyce
