Lot Essay

There is a small group of punchbowls known with varying exterior decoration and banknotes like this one depicted inside, all Scandinavian market, though the story behind the orders remains a mystery. Another 9 daler banknote bowl was in the Mottahedeh Collection (see Howards & Ayers, op cit, vol. II, no. 455); a 200 daler bowl also dated 1762 is in the Gothenburg Historical Museum (see Hervouët & Bruneau, op. cit., p.206).
