photo of the silver sea turtle tureen and its label on display at museum “BOTTOM Fused, plated tureen in the form of a sea turtle, probably Birmingham, England, about 1830 96.4.54 Gift of Margaret Dorrance Strawbridge Foundation II One of four presently known, this tureen's form demonstrates the popularity of green turtle soup, although by no means were the contents of the tureen restricted. The use of silver plate for such a grandiose form is unusual; most metal tureens were made of silver.”
