Prop Hunt! Anyone know where I can find a chafing dish?

As I say. I need to build a scene for an illustration and need a chafing dish. I am pretty sure that someone *might* have made one at some point or other. But I certainly don't seem to have one. Or at least not in my library that has food and kitchen tools. One might be in a set that would be filed somewhere else.

Any ideas?

    I was wondering what the heck a chafing dish was then saw it was a bain marie laugh

    I have seen a few in my runtime trying to recall where

    Thanks. I'll keep a note of that one. I'd have to kitbash it though. What's needed is the kind that were popular wedding gifts back in maybe the '50s or '60s. Like a caserole on a stand with a heat source under it.

    That's the thing. I'me half convinced that I have seen one or two of them. But I'm completely blanking on when or where.

    There's one at 3DWarehouse that you can download as a collada file, complete with Sterno can holders underneath, if you have any pipeline to get it into DS.

    ETA: Well, that one is very similar to the rectangular ones in Modern Ballroom, linked above, so ... Not sure what you mean by "kind that were popular wedding gifts back in maybe the '50s or '60s," if they aren't like the ones in Modern Ballroom. Can you post a photo of what you're looking for?

    Also, there are several different styles on this page: https://www.renderhub.com/firdz3d/chafing-dish

    Were you looking for something a little more ornate and personal-sized, rather than banquet sized? How about Chafing Dish with Stand 3D Model?

    I don't know that's what you call a fondue pot. What else is made in those?

    Thanks everybody! I got an email from TurboSquid this morning. They're having a Memorial Day sale, so I figured, why not? A couple of the ones linked here were also available there. I was very tempted by that one that Mavante linked to. 

    I did find something reasonably inexpensive that I think I can use. I'm a bit limited in that about the only format that I can count on coming into Studio in a usable form is .obj, which is no longer the favored export format from modeling programs. But I still have a copy of DS4.10 which can see and import an .obj just fine (4.12 can't, on a Mac), so I'll do that and save it as a scene and be able to merge it into the other scenes without a big hassle.

    Yeah, a fondue pot is very similar to the kind of chafing dish that I had in mind. There's a very '60s cocktail party vibe to the kind of thing I was looking for. The banquet style ones are *much* larger and more obviously caterer's equipment. (I am going to make a note of that modern ballroom one and tuck it into my wishlist against future needs, just in case.)
