Two-handled bowl 1675 - 1700

This silver two-handled bowl, created by Jacob Boelen between 1675 and 1700, is a prime example of 17th-century Dutch silver craftsmanship. The bowl features a simple, yet elegant, design with a rounded body, two ornate handles, and a distinct foot. Its surface is adorned with delicate embossed patterns, showcasing Boelen's attention to detail. The bowl's size and form suggest it was intended for serving drinks or perhaps as a decorative piece. Today, it resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
