Légende
Monteith, 1701/2. When filled with ice water, this unusually large silver bowl could be used to cool wineglasses by hooking their bases over the bowl's scalloped rim. Alternatively, the rim could be removed and the bowl could be used as a container for punch. This monteith’s size suggests that its original owner was both wealthy and sociable. The word monteith may derive from a Scottish nobleman called Monteigh, who was known to wear a cloak with a scalloped edge.
