The arms are those of the Orne family of Salem, and the monogram is that of Esther Orne Paine (1774-1854).
The same arms appear on a large service of silver made by Paul Revere for Esther Orne Paine's mother, Lois Orne (1756-1822), on the occasion of her marriage to William Paine in 1773 (Martha Gandy Fales, Early American Silver, 1970, p. 86, fig. 82. and Kathryn C. Buhler, American Silver 1655-1825 in the Worcester Art Museum, 1979, pp. 42-47).
A strainer by Coburn bearing the same monogram EOP for Esther Orne Paine is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is illustrated in J. Falino and G. W. R. Ward, Silver in the Americas, 2008, p. 37, fig. 25.
A cann matching the present example with the same coat of arms bears the monogram RO for Rebecca Orne (1746-1774), aunt of Esther Orne Paine, who married Joseph Cabot (1746-1774).
