Two-handled Brandywine Bowl, 1699
Add to SetSummary
Silversmith Jesse Kip created this "brandywine bowl" for Jacob and Maritje Van Dorn, a New Jersey couple of Dutch descent. The Van Dorns probably used this bowl, dated 1699, to share a mixture of brandy and raisins among family and friends during special family events -- births, weddings, or funerals. The two handles made the bowl easy to pass from person to person.
