The bowl was probably made at Brislington or Bristol. It is most likely to have been made about the time of his promotion to Captain-General of the English forces in 1711 in succession to the Duke of Marlborough. It seems unlikely that it was made after the Duke of Ormonde's involvement in the Jacobite rising of 1715, after which he went into exile on the Continent.
