what is this item - COMPLETED, with thanks
« on: Tuesday 21 May 19 12:50 BST (UK) »
Attached is a copy of part of a very lengthy inventory of 'goods & chattels' taken in 1669 in Wiltshire.  I have been able to decipher almost all of it but one particular item, which I've highlighted, is a puzzle.

What does it say?

Any assistance will be gratefully received.

Thanks

 Could it be ' one douge cyver' ie. 'one dough kiver'. A kiver was a type of mixing bowl,

Thank you so much Steve.

Douge cyver (dough kiver) makes so much sense.  I was reading the 'u' as 'n', making the word 'donge' but could not see how dung could be part of a list of items in the whitehouse (dairy)!

Thanks again
