Chinese Export Porcelain Punch Bowl.
A Chinese Export Porcelain Sailor's Farewell & Return Bowl.
1765-75.
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 Royal Navy Ship with the Blue Ensign just off shore.
The sailor's return depicts the sailor depositing watches and coins into his wife's upraised apron. Between the images are large painted flowering branches and the interior with similar painting.
A similar bowl from the Marchant collection sold at Christie's for $10,000.00 on January 18, 2018.
Condition is very good with some fading to the en grisaille sails.
