Catalogue Note
The arms are those of Ker as borne by the Marquess of Lothian. This may be an association with Lord Mark Kerr's regiment of dragoons. Lord Ancram, later 4th Marquess of Lothian, was colonel of the Regiment from 1752 to 1775. Although active at Culloden, then at Cherbourg and Warburg in the Seven Year's War, the regiment as a whole is not recorded in the Americas.
The bowl was found in the Richelieu river between Fort Chambly and Fort Lennox on Ile aux Noix (island) near the mouth of Lake Champlain.
