About MeThis sugar bowl comes from the Kirkhill Teaservice, a rare example of a complete Scottish teaservice and one of the most important groups of Scottish provincial silver. The teaservice passed from the possession of the Burnett family of Kirkhill in Aberdeenshire when the eldest daughter, and heir, Margaret, married Alexander Bannerman in 1737. All the pieces, including this bowl, are engraved with a crest, the motto "Byd Bee" and letter "B" possibly for the Burnetts of Kirkhill.More About Me
