Descrizione dettagliata lotto
A nearly identical punchbowl in the British Museum (Franks.1403) formerly in the collection of the 1st Viscount Exmouth is mentioned in W. Chaffers' 1893 book The Collector's Hand-book, famously incorrectly identified as Lowestoft porcelain. Chaffers mentions a harvest bowl in his own collection, possibly the present lot.
A Felden Farm harvest jug was sold from The Garbisch Collection, Sotheby Parke Bernet, 22 May 1980, lot 229 (illustrated in Hervouet and Bruneau, op. cit., p. 86). Felden, a village in Hempstead, may well have been the site of an 18th century farm where harvest celebrations featured specially ordered Chinese export porcelain. The Tower family who ordered a number of armorial services earlier in the century (see lot 467) had considerable farming properties in this area.
