A Matched Pair of Chinese Export Porcelain Punch Bowls

late 18th century, hand painted porcelain bowls, one in the Imari palette with large floral blooms in iron red and gold emerging from bright cobalt blue craggy rocks, and the second with the same vivid blue craggy rocks but with a lovely pink peony blossom flanked by a pair of birds, both with floral sprays to interior wells, they each come together with a carved wooden stand.
