Lot Essay

A pair to this punchbowl descended in the Pruyn family, prominent citizens of Albany first established there in the late 17th century, and is now in the collection of the Albany Institute of History and Art. See D.S. Howard, New York and the China Trade, no. A15, who comments that "...it must have been specially ordered in China, possibly through a merchant in New York"
