John Inch, a silversmith, watch-maker, and tavern proprietor who worked in Annapolis, made the oldest recorded piece of Maryland silver to survive [1]. Evidence of a long sporting tradition, the bowl is inscribed as a trophy commemorating the first recorded formal horse race in Maryland. Dungannon, a high-mettled horse imported from England by Dr. George Steuart (1700-1784), won the three mile head-to-head contest. An English porcelain bowl [2] underscores the stylistic impact of metal forms on ceramics. It is decorated with scenes from a fox hunt. During the “First (Dr. Wall) Period,” from 1751to 1783, the Worcester Tonquin Manufactory pioneered large-scale production of porcelains decorated with sophisticated transfer prints, a process introduced by English artist Robert Hancock. Hancock based his images on a 1755 engraving by Thomas Burford, which was taken from James Seymour’s painting, The Chase. Also depicting a hunt, a Chinese punch bowl [3] made at the Jingdezhen Kilns for export to the West drew on European print sources for its imagery. China’s enormous work force obviated pressure for time-saving technological advances such as those seen in England, but Western prints and drawings were often provided to show Chinese craftsmen what foreign customers wanted.
