Lot 19
A 17th century Dutch metalwares brandy bowl, maker's mark not traced, Groningen 1667/1668, of oval lobed form heavily decorated with repoussé foliage with an alliance armorial to the side, applied cast dragon mask flying scroll handles and raised on a lobed pedestal foot, engraved underneath 'Swaentien / Dema 1667', 9.8ozt Other Notes: Two-handled silver bowls were used at festive occasions, and brandewijn, a liquor distilled from wine to which sugar and raisins were added, was served from them with a spoon. Brandy bowls were made mainly along the Dutch Wadden Sea; the northern Dutch provinces of Friesland and Groningen, and in parts of northern Germany. The most sought after are the Groningen bowls with vertical handles and the Frisian bowls with horizontal handles. In the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries they were usually octagonal with hand chased decorative or biblical scenes. During the seventeenth century the oval shaped bowl became popular; lobed and often decorated with chased and engraved floral and geometrical bands, leafy tendrils and symbols. The handles were usually cast and applied separately. The presence of alliance crests (two family crests side by side) on brandy bowls and spoons suggests that they also functioned as a wedding gift. They would be filled and left on the table at the wedding feast so that guests could toast the happy couple. This theory is reinforced on this example with an alliance crest to the side together with the engraving on the underside of the foot, which may be the couple's Christian names and the wedding date.

Lot 35
A George II silver two handled porringer, possibly by Peter Simon, London 1726, of traditional half gadrooned form with reeded decoration, the front with an oval cartouche engraved with initials, two scroll handles, 6.1ozt 9 x 11 x 11cm (4 x 4 x 4in) Other Notes: Tableware, and indeed diets, have changed considerably through the ages. In the 16th and 17th century, everyday nourishment depended heavily on eggs, milk, oats and grains. Ale, sack mead, wine, spices, sultanas and sugar were added for flavour. The gruel, porridge, potage (soup), caudle and other sloppy warm mixtures were partially drunk and partially eaten with a spoon. They were individually served in 2 handled cups which became known as porringers. The porringer was introduced in the 1600s and evolved from its predecessor, the posset cup, which had a lid and was used for holding 'posset' - a hot remedy drink made from curdled milk with wine or ale. During the 17th and 18th centuries, porringers of all sizes were used within homes throughout England and Europe. They became an all-purpose bowl for an individual family member, so it was common practice that they would be embellished with personalised engraving, as in this example.
