Bowl
This white bowl commemorates the capture of Senegal and Guadeloupe in 1758, and Louisbourg in 1759 during the Seven Years War, in which Britain supported Prussia against attack from Austria, France, Sweden and Saxony.
The global nature of the war can be seen by the bowl’s decoration. The interior shows warships outside the harbour at Senegal, West Africa, whilst the exterior is finely printed with scenes of naval actions at Cape Breton, Canada, and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
