European or Chinese Market

Price: £36,000

A fine Chinese porcelain punchbowl painted in famille rose enamels with a continuous scene of Chinese hunters.

This is unusual in having no decorative border at the rim, with the hunting scene elegantly arranged around the bowl in a dynamic and lively manner. This style would have appealed to Chinese taste as much as to the Western market at the time.

References: an identical bowl is on display at Osterley Park, West London, (National Trust).
