This charger is part of a small but distinctive group of early 18th century delftware chargers boldly painted with a variety of bird, animal and figure subjects, possibly by the same hand, as discussed by Tristram Jellinek in articles for the 'Antique Collector' magazine in 1970 and 1973. The figure of Pulcinella, anglicized to Punchinello/Mr Punch was first recorded in England in the 1660's and was derived from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte. In the early 18th century, the marionette theatre starring Mr Punch was popular in London and provincial theatres. He usually carries a stick or slapstick, not a sword or smoking a pipe as with the present dish.
