'Hunting' subject punch bowls, with scenes after the celebrated series of prints by James Seymour, are more usually found with the English hunt scenes on the exterior; only a handful are know of this large size with the continuous hunt scene to the interior. Similar bowls are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (C22:1951) and at the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, Delaware, (1960.0512), the exterior of the latter example painted with scenes of rice production.
