Rare Chinese Export porcelain Hunt bowl circa 1780

H: 5 3/4 in. Dia: 14 in.

Three related examples of this rare punch bowl are known, the most famous being the Morris bowl in the Armory collection in Philadelphia; a second example is in the collection of the Maryland Historical Society and is known as the "Shipp Bowl," whose family it descended in; the third example is at Winterthur, having been purchased by Mr. DuPont for his collection in the 1930s.

Provenance: Private collection, Pennsylvania
Purportedly by descent from Colonel Thomas Sheppard, a Revolutionary War figure and later a China trade merchant to the Homan family of Philadelphia.
