The arms on the body are those of Bennet impaling Astley for Charles, 3rd Earl of Tankervllle, and his wife Alicia, 3rd daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Astley, Bart. of Pateshull, Stafford, whom he married in 1742. Charles died in 1767, so it is likely that this tureen was made to match an earlier one, the arms repeated. His wife died in 1775. The tureen is numbered 2 on body and cover.
