Description:
English lusterware punch bowl decorated in pink, purple, red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and black with a chinoiserie garden scene. The well has a hand-colored transfer print of four women, two with covered tureens and one with a fan; there is a purple luster mountain range in the background and an orange fence behind the women and in the foreground. The interior sides are decorated with three large pod-like shapes and branches with flowers and berries. The exterior has four groups of flowers and floral sprays. A similar design is on the plate, HD 2970; both were in J. M. Morris's collection (the bowl # 810). Acording to a hand-written note in the file, both belonged to the Sandys family who lived in either the west of England or Wales.
