LIVERPOOL SOFT PASTE PUNCH BOWL

Seth Pennington & John Part, England, c1790

 

 

Front

 

 

Reverse

 

 

 

The deep round bowl in soft paste, printed in bright underglaze blue with 2 opposing Chinese riverscapes

 with pavilions on islands connected by a bridge with two figures, the interior with a similar scene,

but with a figure in a sampan, the interior rim with roe diapering above an arabesque-diapered line; unmarked. 

The ground arrangement is reminiscent of Worcester’s Rock Strata pattern, also in blue and white.

 

For a similar example, see The Watney Collection Part III, Phillips New Bond, London, lot 1126

 

The Pennington and Part rather provincial style of painting in strong blues has a particular charm

lacking in the more sophisticated Worcester and Caughley wares.

 

Condition: Excellent

 

8.25” Wide, 3.5” High
