Gallery Label
Known as the "Salmagundi" punch bowl, this bowl belonged to New York City merchant Isaac Gouverneur (1749-1800). His nephew, Gouverneur Kemble (1786-1875) inherited it and used it at Cockloft Hall, the family mansion at Newark, NJ on the Passaic River, charmingly described in Washington Irving's "Salmagundi Papers." Among the young literati often assembled at Cockloft Hall were Washington Irving and the "Salmagundi set," including Henry Brevoort, James K. Paulding, and Henry Ogden.
