Butter-tub and cover

Phipps, Thomas, and James.
Wilkinson, Henry & Co

Butter tub and cover, sides formed of coopered oak staves within a reeded silver frame at base and lip, two rectangular handles, pierced with holes giving the object the appearance of a milk pail; a shallow domed oak cover rising to a spool finial bearing a cow recumbent on a silver disc; an applied disc on the one side is inscribed Ceubren-Y-Ellyll, (the devil`s oak) below an oak tree, a second disc bearing the Vaughan coat of arms on the other side, (both with the later Sheffield hallmark). The first disc is repeated on the cover with another bearing the crest of a lion rampant bearing a heart. Glass line missing. Containing an unrelated mahogany ring.
