I am very pleased to offer this very valuable and rare Royal Copenhagen punch bowl for auction. The bowl is very large measuring 13 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The bowl comes with the box it was sold in and the certificate of authenticity. The bowl is pristine. The box is showing some wear. The bowl is a limited edition of 2,500 and this particular bowl is numbered 1347. There are additional markings on the bowl which can be viewed in the pictures. The following is what Royal Copenhagen has to say about the bowl: In 1975, Royal Copenhagen Porcelain made a limited number of bowls (a replica of a commemorative punch bowl from 1801) to mark the occasion of our own 200th birthday. In view of the intense interest these have generated amongst collectors all over the world, we find the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776 a fitting occasion to issue this unique Independence Bowl. Unique because only 2,00 have been made, each with its own number and individual certificate of authenticity. Unique, also, in the sensitive frieze decoration over the glaze (by Royal Copenhagen artist Sven Vertergaard) featuring George Washington at the Battle of Princeton, English frigates engaged by American batteries on the Hudson River and a silhouette of George Washington and a contemporary coat of arms.
