Description
This is an example of Chinese export porcelain designed to Western taste. This is armorial ware or heraldic china where the ceramic is decorated with a coat of arms. It was very popular among the clan chiefs in the 18th century who ordered their great dinner services, tea services and decorative pieces made to order. These objects reflected the latest in fashion, not just in their decorations but also in their forms, which evolved as trends emerged and 18th-century cuisine developed. This punch bowl is decorated with the arms of John, 2nd Duke of Argyll, who commanded the English army at Sherrifmuir in November 1715. This is just one of many examples of clan export china in our collection.
