Three further bowls (106 to 108-1865), four silver spoons (110 to 113-1865) and a gold écu of Philip VI of Valois (ruled 1328-50) from this hoard are also in the V&A. In 1961 Charles Oman suggested that they originally belonged to a larger hoard of silver, whose origin is unknown but was possibly near Gaillon in Normandy. This hoard also included pieces now found in the Musée de Cluny (traditionally thought to have been excavated in 1851 at the Château of Gaillon, once the country palace of the archbishops of Rouen), in the Basilewsky Collection now in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg and in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.\r\n\r\nDuke Charles the Bold Exhibition RF.2006/635","historicalContext":"This bowl is much simpler in design than other bowls found in the same hoard but the fact that it is made of silver, rather than the more utilitarian pewter or latten (a type of copper alloy), suggests it was intended for use in an affluent household.
