Punch Bowl |

|
This punch bowl was made in the first quarter of the 18th century by
the well-known master silversmith Gabriel Sleath. The influence of French
art from the beginning of the 18th century may be seen in the opulent
decoration of the bowl: its rim is adorned with fancifully shaped festoons,
while the lower part of the body and base are decorated with ovals in
relief; the handles have been made in the shape of lions' heads. |
