An Important Chinese Porcelain Hunting Punch Bowl
About the Item
This bowl has enamelling of an extraordinarily high quality, which is comparable with that on a rare bowl depicting the Edinburgh Toxophily (archery) Society, suggesting that they were probably from the same workshop. English hunting scenes were popular on Chinese export porcelain and this scene is known on others, in conjunction with other hunting scenes. The scene here is taken from a print by Pierre-Charles Canot (1710-1777) after a painting by James Seymour (1702-1752), showing a hunt meet outside a garden wall with an orangery or gazebo. In order to create an image all round the bowl the composition has been altered slightly - the wall and buildings have been moved to the left. Interestingly the Chinese painters have misinterpreted one of the riders, in the original he is looking down at a hound, but his black jockey cap has been redrawn here as a black face. This indicates that the print taken to Canton was probably a later generation copy.
The interior of the bowl has a single huntsman with a horn who is taken from the rider on the extreme right of the main image. Among Seymour’s patrons was Sir William Jolliffe MP for Petersfield, whose hunt was depicted by him in at least two paintings, of which this is one. Both are known together on other bowls. The figure in the turquoise coat on the grey horse, with his back to the viewer, is Sir William Jolliffe, as he is the focus of attention.
The buildings could be part of Petersfield House. It was extensively remodelled by Sir William’s nephew John in the 1730’s with a Grange, dairies and outbuildings, the architect was John James of Greenwich who also built Standlynch Park, which has windows very similar to the one in this image - Petersfield House was demolished in 1793 when the family moved to Merstham near Reigate and no drawings of it survive. The church with square steeple could be Harting Church, which it resembles and is to the south east of Petersfield.
