Lot Essay

This rare form emulates English silver examples that were fashionable between about 1680 and 1720, their distinctive rims made to hold wine glass bases so their bowls could cool in ice. The bowls were named after an eccentric Scot, Lord Monteith, who wore his cloak hem notched in this fashion.
