Silver Bowl

A silver bowl, an early American work of John Coney of Boston, was recorded as bringing $30,000 at auction recently. The seller was George C. Gebelein, Boston silversmith, and the buyer William Macbeth, Inc. The first bid was for $10,000, and within a few minutes rapidly advanced to $30,000. This bowl is said to exhibit the most successful tradition of the William and Mary Queen Anne styles, as influenced by the designs of Daniel Marot. It is elaborately ornamented. The body of the bowl is fluted, the broad rim chased, and cast in low relief with jardinieres, foliage and other motifs. It has two swivel handles emerging from lion masks. The interior is engraved with a coat of arms.

Dr. Lowell Receives Gift of Silver Cup

In token of their affection for Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell, retiring president of Harvard University, members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences yesterday presented to him a silver cup which originally belonged to Dr. John Leverett, ninth president of the university.

The cup was fashioned by Edward Winslow, a famous colonial silversmith, and has been in the possession of the Leverett family more than 200 years. In 1931 it came into the possession of George C. Gebelein, from whom it was purchased by the Harvard faculty. The cup is similar to the so-called “tutor’s mug,” traditionally given to Harvard tutors by their students up to the end of the eighteenth century. It bears the inscription “Leverett” boldly engraved in shaded Roman capitals on the front, and the maker’s mark EW to the left of the handle.

Prof. Edward K. Rand composed an added inscription in Latin to mark the presentation of the cup to Dr. Lowell. The presentation was made by Professor G. L. Kittredge, 82, Gurney Professor of English Literature and member of the faculty since 1890.
