John Sibley, who kept a diary of his visit to New Orleans in 1802, noted: "Mrs Hewling has standing on her Mantel piece in her Hall a Glass Globe open at top about the capacity of two Gallons in which she has a pair of Golden Carp that were a present from France.” See "The Journal of Dr. John Sibley, July-Oct, 1802,” Louisiana Historical Quarterly, Vol 10, No. 4 (Oct 1927, p 482). There are numerous 19th-century images that show glass bowls with goldfish. Some of these depict bowls without pedestals, some with. Many collectors believe those with pedestals were leech globes, and no doubt some were used for that purpose. Most likely, however, they were made and marketed for multiple purposes, including as used here, for fish.
