Maker: Bartholomew Le Roux, American, ca. 1665–1713, Brandywine Bowl, ca. 1690–1700, Silver, 5 1/2 × 12 1/8 in. (14 × cm), Brandywine bowls (brandewijnkommen) were used in Dutch households for serving a mixture of brandy and raisins at ceremonial occasions such as weddings and births. The lobed panels and cast handles with caryatids on this impressively-scaled bowl derive from Netherlandish examples and show the survival of Dutch artistic traditions in the New York area. It was made by the Huguenot silversmith Bartholomew Le Roux, who arrived in New York from London by 1690
