DescriptionVery large, round, Chinese export porcelain punch bowl. The punch bowl sits on a round foot and has a slightly flared rim. It is not decorated. However, the surface of the porcelain is uneven and looks somewhat like the surface of an orange peel. Imperfections in the porcelain appear as black dots and lines in the surface of the ceramic. There is a chip in the foot of the punch bowl, relatively close to an imperfection in the porcelain.
