The Saucepan is of a large size and has a circular form, rising to an everted rim. The silver section of the handle is attached to the main body with a shield shaped moulding and also displays a turned fruitwood end. The stepped, slightly domed, pull off cover terminates in a silver and fruitwood finial and both the cover and main body are engraved with a contemporary Armorial in a stylised lozenge surround suggesting that they are those of a Lady. They are the arms as used by the Vaughan family, a wealthy family, one branch being the Earls of Lisburne, created 1776.
