A rare Caughley punchbowl by Fidelle Duvivier, circa 1792

Finely painted in delicate colours with two figures in a rural riverside landscape, a sailing boat in the distance, framed by characteristic trees with trailing roots and foliage below, the reverse with three smaller landscape vignettes, another to the interior, a border of brown and gold foliate festoons undulating around a gilt line inside the rim, gilt lines around the rim and low foot, 21cm diam

Footnotes

Exhibited at the Caughley Polychrome Exhibition, Ironbridge 2005, see the catalogue, Caughley in Colour, no.44. The attribution is based on similarities in style to a Caughley saucer by Fidelle Duvivier in the same exhibition, no.290, suggesting that both pieces were painted during his brief period at the Chamberlain factory in October 1792 when the firm was painting Caughley blanks. The wage records for that month include the entry 'M DEVIEA', presumably phonetic spelling for Monsieur Duvivier.
