This bowl, engraved with the De Peyster arms, was probably made for Abraham de Peyster (1657–1728) of New York. De Peyster was mayor from 1691 to 1694 and held many other civil posts, including chief justice and treasurer of the province. The altar silver for Saint Andrews church in Staten Island and for Christ Church in Rye was also made by John East.
