Exceptionally rare and large famille rose topographical punchbowl, cover and stand for the Swedish market depicting the first visit of the Queen of Sweden to the new palace at Drottningholm. This is one of only two known depictions of this subject and shows the early temporary buildings which were later replaced.

This unique bowl belongs to a small group of such bowls each depicting Swedish royal Palaces. Others show castles at Nynas, Tavastehus and Lacko and the old church at Uppsala.

Sold GBP 62,500 to The Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Mass. in 1999
