Catalogue Note
Similar examples were made by Thomas Maundy, probably the most prolific maker of such bowls, sometimes described as dessert stands. A rare pair from 1638 is part of the Jackson Collection, see Michael Clayton, The Collector's Dictionary of the Silver and Gold of Great Britain and North American, pp. 104 and 108. A footed dish of the same date, 1638, with similar radiating beaded ribs is in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, illustrated Ellenor Alcorn, English Silver in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, vol. 1, no. 37, p. 104.
