Sydney punchbowls

The two Sydney punchbowls are the only known Chinese export porcelain hand painted with Sydney scenes and dating from the Macquarie era (1810–21).〔(The Lachlan & Elizabeth Macquarie Archive (LEMA) Project ) Retrieved 30 August 2013.〕 The punchbowls were procured from China about three decades after the First Fleet's arrival at Port Jackson when the British settlement at Sydney Cove was established in 1788. The punchbowls have since been donated independently, one to the State Library of NSW (SLNSW) in 1926 and the other to the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) in 2006.
== The harlequin pair: similarities and differences ==

The punchbowls can be considered a harlequin pair as they are similar but not exactly matching. They are both Chinese ceramics ware of Cantonese origin, made of clear glaze on hard-paste porcelain and painted with polychrome famille rose 〔''Canton famille rose porcelain'' by Feller, John Quentin in Magazine Antiques, October 1983, Vol. 124 Issue 4, p.748 and October 1986, Vol. 130, p722-731, 10p〕 overglaze enamel and gilding. They are similar in size, each approximately 45 cm in diameter, 17 cm high and weighing about 5.4 kg. Whilst the Indigenous Australian groups painted within the inner centre of both bowls are identical, the outer panoramic views of Sydney Cove are not. The SLNSW punchbowl has a view from the eastern side of Sydney Cove whilst the view on the ANMM bowl is from Dawes Point on the western shore. This pairing follows a standard convention in late 18th-and early 19th-century topographical art of painting two views of the same scene from opposite vantage points.〔Elizabeth Ellis, OAM, "Chinese puzzles:the Sydney punchbowls" ''Australiana'', vol.34, no.2, May 2012, p.18-30〕
Whilst the Cantonese ceramic painters would have worked from images of Sydney Cove and the Aboriginal group provided by the customer commissioning the punchbowls, the border and edge trims were generally left to the choice of the ceramic painters.〔Elizabeth Ellis "Chinese puzzles:the Sydney punchbowls" ''Australiana'', vol.34, no.2, May 2012, p.18-30〕 The traditional floral motif of such Chinese flowers as chrysanthemums, peonies, cherry and plum blossom has been applied to the internal borders of both bowls in a similar pattern. However, the external borders differ considerably. The Library bowl has a more traditional Chinese outer border design in vermillion, rose and gilt whilst the Museum bowl has a trim of looped circles on a blue cobalt ground, edged with narrow gold bands. There are other differences. The Library bowl has large, gilded monogram initials on the outside and the foot ring has a single narrow gold band and gilded lower edge. However, the Museum bowl has no visible monogram but the foot ring does have lettered in black 'View of the Town of Sydney in New South Wales'.
