The arms are those of Clennell, probably for Percival Clennell (1714-1796) of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Barrister. He was the son of Luke Clennell (1677-1745), who served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1727 and purchased Harbottle Castle in 1731. The castle (which left Royal ownership in 1614 when King James I granted it away) passed to Percival upon his father's death.

Percival Clennell was admitted to Trinity College in 1733 and began at the Middle Temple in 1734/35. At the time of this bowl's manufacture, in 1737, he would have been at the beginning of his career.
