ARTHUR ELWELL SPURRIER 13 George Street Birmingham Electro Plate
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention, is to make a receptacle, for holding butter, having
a perforated base, or bottom through which the butter
side, so as to produce a neat, clean & pretty looking pattern or shape in the dish,
or out of it, without having all the trouble of working up the same by hand as is
pressed from the under-
now the usual course.
In order to do this I take a piece of metal, porcelain, wood or other material &
form a receptacle for holding the butter (preferably with its base highest in the
middle) this base I perforate with a desirable pattern. On its underside I form a
recess for holding the butter in, before being pressed, I then form a piece of metal
or wood, which exactly fits into this recess, which I use for pressing up the butter
through the said perforations, into the interior of the dish. The action therefore is
as follows-Having put the desired amount of butter to be pressed, into the recess
on the underside of the perforated dish, I place it on the top of the following up
plate (before described) & press the dish down upon it by hand, the butter will
then be found to squeeze through the perforations as a pattern, or shape, into the
nterior of the dish. I can also use this principle to make patterns or shapes of
butter, to be transferred to ordinary dishes, or make separate little dishes when
ressed to be transferred to separate frames or stands.

ARTHUR ELWELL SPURRIER 13, George Street Birmingham Electro Plate
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to make a receptacle, for holding butter; having
a perforated base, or bottom through which the butter is pressed, from the under-
side, so as to produce a neat, clean, & pretty looking pattern, or shape in the dish,
or out of it without having all the trouble of working up the same by hand, as is
now the usual course.
In order to do this I take a piece of metal, porcelain, wood, or other material,
and form a receptacle for holding the butter (preferably with its base highest in
the middle). This base I perforate with desirable pattern, on its underside I form
a recess, for holding the butter in, before being pressed, and I then form a piece of
metal, or wood which exactly fits into this recess which I use for pressing up the
butter through the said perforation, into the interior of the dish.
The action therefore is as follows-Having put the desired amount of butter, to
be pressed, into the recess on the underside of the perforated dish, I place it on
he top of the following up plate, (before described) & press the dish down upon it
y hand. The butter will then be found to squeeze through the perforations, as a
attern or shape into the interior of the dish. can also use this principle to make

page_text: patterns, or shapes of butter, to be transferred to ordinary dishes, or make separate
little dishes when pressed, to be transferred to separate frames or stands.
I now describe my invention more fully by means of the accompanying
drawings...
Figure A represents the perforated plate through which the butter is pressed.
Figure B is the outside edge or fringe of the perforated plate. Figure C represents
the bottom of the base plate upon which the butter rests, before being pressed & is
distinct & unconnected from B. The butter therefore is really pressed between B.
& C & through A, & forms the pattern D as shewn in the drawing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
Making a butter dish, with a perforated base, through which the butter is
pressed, into the desired pattern, or configuration.
