AN AMERICAN SILVER SMALL TWO-HANDLED BRANDYWINE BOWL

Shallow drinking bowls, such as the present lot, were a New York version of a 17th century European form, and were at times called brandy bowls. The bowl offered here is one of a group of drinking bowls by Boelen, including one in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York (acc. no. 62.111.14), which similarly has unchased sides and twisted handles.
