镀银碗

逛旧货店，逛逛淘淘，买了一个镀银碗，里维尔碗（Revere Bowl）。这样的奖杯（奖碗）通常作为珍贵的礼品，用于表彰被嘉奖者优秀的服务。

这种“碗”源于一个历史故事（Paul Revere Bowl).

Silver Plated Revere Bowls

In the late 1700's, the House of Representatives sent a letter to each of the colonies criticizing King George III. The King demanded that the letter be rescinded, and 92 members of the House voted in defiance not to rescind. 15 members of the Sons of Liberty commissioned Paul Revere to design a gift to the House to thank them for the support, and in 1768 the Paul Revere Bowl was born.

 

The original, Paul Revere bowl is engraved with the names of the Sons of Liberty, now rests in a place of honor in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. To this day, the Paul Revere bowl, or Revere Bowl as it is now known, remains a cherished gift and a fine acknowledgement of service. Any of these exquisite bowls may be engraved with names, dates or even your company logo.
