Bishop-bowl

A bishop-bowl (Danish: Bispebolle) is a punch bowl made of faience and shaped in the form of a mitre (a bishop's hat) that was popular in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein in the eighteenth end nineteenth centuries.

Recipees from the second half of the 19th century frequently mention that rum can be added to improve tastate and shelf life.
