Sharing Shakespeare's Story

Silver gilt drinking bowl

This beautiful silver-gilt drinking bowl from the 16th century is on display at New Place. In his will Shakespeare leaves his own silver-gilt bowl to his daughter Judith while his other silver plates were left to his granddaughter Elizabeth. You can read more about what Shakespeare bequeathed in his will on our blog
