Bowl

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 718

Chinese export porcelain was one of the luxuries deemed essential to a well-appointed eighteenth-century house. Until 1784, when direct trade began between China and America, Chinese porcelain came to the colonies by way of Europe. This bowl descended in the Verplanck family of New York.
