Description.A very large and impressive punchbowl, beautifully painted with an external chinoiserie pattern of temples and pagodas on a rocky outcrop, together with floral decoration to the well of the bowl. Both sets of decoration bear close stylistic affinities to Pennington decoration (see, for example, plate 4.16 of Maurice Hillis', "Liverpool Porcelain 1756-1804" (particularly the treatment of the insect shown in the centre of the saucer, which is identical to the insect shown in the well of the bowl.) and also the patterns shown in Lois Roberts' "Painted in Blue and White"-particularly the sunflower pattern shown in the well of the bowl illustrated as Plate 154).

Condition.There are three patches of restoration to the rim, as shown.

Dimensions.29.5cm in diameter.

Please see our other items, arranged by category in our shop.  We generally have several hundred items listed on eBay. We have many other items listed elsewhere. If you have a particular collecting sphere, or simply wish to know about all of the stock, please contact us.

We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps our environmental footprint!

We do not offer combined postage.

If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.

When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.

We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's  unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.

We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. 

Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances

We do not generally point out crazing, and do not regard it as a defect worth mentioning in pieces of the age we sell, unless it is not completely noticeable in photographs and is both extensive and undiscoloured. If you have concerns as to whether a piece is crazed, please ask us.
