Of low circular form, applied with two gadrooned handles with female mask terminals, the domed cover with a crabstock handle, painted in Imari palette with plants issuing from rockwork, a lappet border above the foot and diaper and floral panelled borders at the rims, 32cm wide over the handles, 18.5cm high, incised 'R' mark (3)

Provenance
With Simon Spero, 2009
Literature
White, Mary, Eating at the Whites' House, Vol.3, 2022, p.465
Anton Gabszewicz discusses this early group of porcelains and illustrates a very similar tureen from the Freeman Collection, see 'Bow Porcelain The Incised 'R' marked group and associated wares', ECC Trans, Vol.17, Pt.2, 2000, pp.284, fig.29. The form takes inspiration from silver, especially the handles and mask terminals with radiating scroll moulding. The Imari decoration is ultimately taken from Japanese porcelain. The gilt highlights would have replicated some of the splendour of a silver example, especially in candlelight, which would have also emphasised the crisp modelling of the handles left in the white.
Probably intended to serve soup, it has been suggested that this large covered form might have been used for punch.
