New England… found in Maine
A fine example made by a very experienced master cooper demonstrating a high standard of workmanship. The dasher/plunger is received by a beautifully turned ovoid funnel [rim tapers inward], the funnel pierces the slightly domed fitted lid. The staves, one projecting, and flaring like a piggin type handle are bound by four buttonhole joined hoops and one hoop at the rim having a tapered finger terminus.
