Produced in England in the 1790s, this ceramic punchbowl was made specifically for the American market. It is decorated with a likeness of Benjamin Franklin, the Great Seal of the United States, and a likeness of General George Washington. The exterior also features a short poem, “Health to the Sick / Honour to the Brave: / Success to the Lover: / and Freedom to the / Slave,” originally published in England in 1717. Inspired by the American Revolution, debates about combatting both political slavery and racial slavery flourished in both Great Britain and America. The bowl is an example of how people used everyday objects to express their opinions and provoke conversation during the American Revolution.
