Description

A documentary creamware punchbowl dated 1776, painted with small polychrome flower sprays, inscribed for 'John Chapman Ann Kennedy Mucklowr 1776', 19.6cm dia.

A John Chapman is listed in the Scottish Archives as father of a Jean Chapman, mother Ann Kennedy. It is thought that "Mucklowr" probably relates to Meikleour (pronounced Macklure) in Perthshire.
