Punch Bowl, c. 1769. Decorated with portraits copied from a broadside printed in London in June 1768: Englishmen John Wilkes (left), an outspoken advocate of political reform and American liberty, and Lord Mansfield (right), who tried to silence Wilkes with charges of libel. Satirical coats of arms surround their portraits, with 'Arms of Liberty' inscribed above. American colonists viewed Wilkes as a symbol of liberty and free speech. Made in Qianlong, China for the American market.
