Punch bowl (2 of 2)

This transfer-printed earthenware punch bowl was made by the Glasgow potters J. & M.P. Bell & Company. The pattern is called 'NEUILLY' and the bowl dates from between 1842 and 1880. Neuilly-sur-Seine is a suburb of Paris, not far from the Bois de Boulogne.

The bowl is shaped like a slightly flattened hemisphere and has a scalloped rim. The outside of the bowl is decorated with two scenes of a fountain. The scallop-edged pedestal circular foot is decorated with a border of leaves on a background of spirals.

Like many other potteries in the second half of the 19th century, Bell's most popular ware was transfer-printed earthenware, which was durable, decorative and affordable by the masses. Some designs were extremely well produced.
