Chinese Export Porcelain European decorated Punch Bowl.
Sailor's Farewell and Return and an East India Company Ship.
The second half of the 18th Century.
The Chinese Export porcelain bowl has two images of a sailor and his wife known as the sailor's farewell and the sailor's return. The farewell depicts the sailor leaving his wife who hugs him as he is about to depart as he points to the third image of his ship. The sailor's return depicts the sailor depositing watches and coins into her upraised apron. A three-masted ship is seen on one side flying a variation of the East India Company flag. Between the images are large painted water Lilly plants. The interior well painted with goldfish amongst aquatic plants.
