EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and massive Masonic punchbowl, crafted around 1790. The exquisite porcelain bowl, measuring an impressive diameter of 52.7 cm, is adorned with intricate Masonic symbols set against a sketchy landscape. Among the symbols depicted are the perfect ashlar, representing perfection in Freemasonry, and a pink and green border embellished with sepia serpent and paddle motifs inspired by Chinese export porcelain. The image captures the essence of esotericism and secrecy associated with this ancient secret society. It evokes a sense of intrigue as one contemplates the hidden meanings behind each symbol carefully etched onto the ceramic surface. The celestial elements such as stars and moons further enhance its mystical aura. Imported from China during the Georgian era, this punchbowl served not only as a vessel for alcoholic beverages but also as an emblematic centerpiece for Masonic rituals and gatherings. Its large size suggests that it was intended to be shared among members of this exclusive club during their leisurely pursuits. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to both cultural exchange between East and West and the enduring legacy of Freemasonry's rituals and traditions. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into an enigmatic world where symbolism reigns supreme – inviting us to unravel its secrets while marveling at its beauty.
