Large English Delft Blue and White Punch Bowl Liverpool Circa 1760
$2,600.00This large English Delft punch bowl was hand painted in Liverpool around 1760. At thirteen inches in diameter, it combines substantial scale with notable lightness in both its thin potting and the clear tone of its cobalt blue.
The blue fires in a light, fresh shade that complements the delicacy of the bird-and-flower design on the exterior and the restrained floral sprigs within. A lively songbird moves through flowering sprays beneath a structured diaper border at the rim. The outlines are firm, the washes controlled, and the brushwork remains visible.
The cobalt stays light rather than dark or inky, allowing the decoration to read clearly across the broad surface. The glaze has a cool white cast with slight bluish translucency and an even surface with only mild pooling. That clarity supports the painting and sharpens the blue.
The foot ring is neatly cut and proportioned, reinforcing the sense of careful workshop finish. Inside, a single budding flower in the well and delicate leafy sprigs below the rim reflect the traditional restraint of Liverpool punch bowls of this period.
Scale, lightness, and controlled painting define the strongest English Delft. This bowl brings those qualities together with clarity and balance.

Large Mochaware Bowl with Both Cable and Marbled Decoration
$3,300.00This mochaware bowl measures 11.25 inches in diameter and was produced in Staffordshire, England in the early 19th century.
Bowls of this scale are uncommon, and examples combining extensive interior decoration with complex exterior cable decoration and a three-color slip band are rarely encountered.
The interior is decorated with a bold earthworm, or cable, pattern in dark brown, light brown, and cobalt blue.
The pattern radiates across the basin and gives the surface strong movement while maintaining clear separation between the colors.
Beneath it, the slip ground shifts from a medium brown to a lighter tan, creating natural variation within the design.
The use of cobalt blue is especially appealing and adds another level of interest to the bowl.
The exterior is arranged in two bands.
Just below the rim, a continuous cable decoration encircles the bowl and repeats the interior motif in a more controlled horizontal format.
Below this, a three-color slip band in dark brown, lighter brown, and pale blue runs around the body.
The colors remain distinct, with slight softening at the edges where the slips meet.
The bowl has a stable, well-formed foot, and the proportions remain balanced despite the scale.
The wide, open form sits cleanly above the foot, and the profile remains even and well held throughout.
This bowl combines several features not often found together: large scale, the inclusion of cobalt in the cable decoration, full interior coverage, and a clearly structured exterior design.
