Description:
Circular English delft punch bowl with applied foot rim, decorated around the side with manganese purple banded hedges, floral sprays with wedge shaped leaves, opposing reeds, and a bird?, the decoration has a very watery appearance, the bowl has two blue bands on the exterior top edge, a red line along the rim, and two blue bands along the top interior edge, and six blue line bands around the inside well. The "banded hedge" motif can be associated with Japanese Kakiemon porcelain which was becoming available in England in the 1680s. Pieces decorated this way are unusual and seem to have been made in the second quarter of the 18th century. Fragments showing the "banded hedge" pattern were found by F. H. Garner in Lambeth.
