Notes:

Punch bowls were popular items for export to England in particular, where punch, made from gin, citrus fruit and imported spices, was drunk by the middle and upper-classes of the eighteenth century. By the 1760s, the dense ornamentation, bold colour palette and ornate gilding of the so-called ‘mandarin’ style had become very popular. The mandarin style consequently became a key visual source for European ceramic manufacturers. Sporting subjects, as seen here, used Western prints as a model and were particularly popular in the latter half of the 18th century in England and America. Bowls such as this were probably used to serve punch after a day of hunting.
