A Derby botanical punchbowl, circa 1790

Of pattern 115, the exterior painted with botanical specimens, including sweet pea and nasturtium, a gilded lily-of-the-valley border below the rim, 23.3cm diam, crown, crossed batons and D mark in puce, numeral 8 inside footrim for William Longdon (light wear within the interior)

Footnotes

Pieces of this pattern normally bear the names of the specimens depicted, mostly copied from Curtis's Botanical Magazine. The limited space within the footrim of the bowl presumably made this impractical. A punchbowl with botanical decoration is a great rarity.
