Rim of opening, along exterior walls, decorated with naturally coloured cherry bark. Base and interior are undecorated.
Narrative
From 1919 - 1936 the donors' grandfather, Richard G. Newton was superintendent of an Agricultural Experimental Station in Windemere, BC. After that they moved to Prince George, where Newton was assigned to direct an Experimental Farm in Pineview. The grandparents later retired in Chilliwack. The two donors, Hart and Brooks, inherited the collection from their father.
