A rare engraved punch bowl, mid 18th century
Footnotes
Provenance: The Commander A. P. Barrow-Green Collection
The choice of flowers including multi-petalled roses both in profile and full-blown, carnations and a sunflower may have some Jacobite significance. The inclusion of apples and pears in the sprays are likely to relate to the contents, and suggest that the bowl may have been used for cider or perry punch. A cider or perry goblet of Jacobite significance with similar sprays of fruit is illustrated by Dan Klein and Ward Lloyd, The History of Glass (1989), p. 129, and was sold in these rooms (Phillips), 6 June 2001, The John Carson Collection, lot 36.
