The maker's mark is quite worn but there is just a trace of a letter "R"  making the attribution to Phipps and Robinson more likely. Furthermore, Christie's sold a very similar example dated 1808 by the same makers on 29th May, 2009, lot 149 (sold for £5625 including and Old Sheffield Plate example).
