It bears a scene copied from a print from1749 by the British painter and printmaker William Hogarth (1697-1764). Called ‘The Gate of Calais, O the Roast Beef of Old England’, it is an example of Hogarth's witty xenophobia against France and the Scottish Jacobites. The scenes feature the striking differences between all aspects of life and religion between the French, the Scots and the English, with the English, of course, shown as superior. Satirical prints attacking France became one of the most enduring and successful print themes in British history with this print being copied in several different versions. \n\nThe coat of arms above the gate on the bowl belong to the Rumboldts whose family members served in the East India Company. Sir Thomas Rumboldt, Governor of Madras from 1778-1780, probably commissioned this piece along with another service. The scroll and shell decorative border was popular on Chinese export porcelain between 1745 and 1755.    ","physicalDescription":"Punch bowl made of porcelain painted in enamels and gilt; decorated on the outside with a scene copied from a 1749 print by William Hogarth called 'The Gate of Calais, O the Roast Beef of Old England'.
