Famille Rose Punch Bowl Painted with a Hudson Bay Company Factory, 18th Century

About the Item

Famille rose punch bowl, painted with a Hudson Bay Company factory, probably at York, Canada, with an English blue ensign and typical stained glass windows, pitched roof and chimneys, in blue, pale turquoise, ruby and white enamels heightened with sepia, iron-red and black, the reverse with a frigate or sloop of about 1785 on green enamelled stylised waves with a long blue pennant, dispersed between rose flower sprays and beneath a scroll band in iron-red and gilt with green enamel line and ruby enamel dots, the well of the interior with a further rose flower spray beneath a scrolling blue-enamel band with flowerheads and leaves. 11 3/8 inches, 28.8 cm diameter. Late Qianlong, circa 1795. * From an important Swedish private collection, inherited by the owner from her mother, who inherited it in 1930. * The Hudson Bay Company factories were incorporated by English Royal Charter in 1670 as, The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England, trading into Hudson Bay. From its long-time headquarters at the York factory on Hudson Bay, the company controlled the fur trade throughout much of the English and later British-controlled North America for several centuries. Undertaking early exploration, its traders and trappers forged early relationships with many groups of aboriginal peoples. Its network of trading posts formed the nucleus for later official authority in many areas of Western Canada and the United States. The first three Hudson Bay Company posts were established on James Bay in 1670. In 1684, Fort Nelson was established at the mouth of the Nelson River and the second fort at the mouth of the Hayes River was named after the Duke of York. The York factory and settlement located in the southwestern shore of Hudson Bay in northeastern Manitoba, Canada, at the mouth of the Hayes River. The first factory was built in 1684 and the third and final factory in 1788, which closely resembles the building on the bowl with three floors and identical windows. * A punch bowl with a similar frigate or sloop of about 1785 on similar stylised green waves beneath a scroll band in blue enamel is illustrated by by David S. Howard & John Ayers in China for the West, Volume one, no. 224, pp. 226/7.
