Label copy

This dish probably formed part of a dinner service, together with the nearby salt dish and sauce boat. Its precise use is not known. According to the donor's mother, all three were imported to Newport in 1759 by Metcalf Bowler, a prosperous merchant who lived in what is now known the Vernon House.
