Bol con dos asas

1700–1710
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 750
El bol con dos asas, decorado con seis lóbulos iguales cincelados en su superficie, es característico de la platería neoyorquina en la época colonial. Llamado brandewijnskom, o bol para brandy, se utilizaba en las bodas, los funerales y muy particularmente en las reuniones de comadres para celebrar un nacimiento, denominadas kindermaal. Los invitados se pasaban el bol, lleno de brandy y pasas, y se servían con un cucharón de plata. Las iniciales grabadas cerca del borde de este ejemplar son las de Theunis Jacobsen Quick, un rico panadero, y de su mujer, Vroujte, que se casaron en 1689.
