It is difficult to know for certain whether this bowl was made for the
Export market, or for sale to a local Chines domestic buyer. The design
contains images of Chinese furniture which would have been almost
entirely unfamiliar to a Westerner, unlike a handsome Export punch
bowl bearing a European subject of a carousing party or a fox hunt, or
even recording the Canton ‘Hongs’ waterfront. If this bowl was made
for a Westerner, it must have been a unique Special Commission’.
The furniture designs are depicted with some care and may have
been copied from Canton School albums of gouache paintings, sets
of which often showed (possibly semi-accurately) domestic Chinese
interiors for the edification of foreigners.
