A similar pair of vases but with bodies of dark blue porcelain instead of porphyry are in the Jones Collection at the V & A Museum (acc. Num. 982&A-1882) and attributed to the workshop of the French bronzier Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813) by his biographer, Jacques Robiquet (Gouthière, sa vie, son oeuvre, 1912, p. 174). This late 18th century model continued to be much admired during the 19th century as demonstrated by a drawing of one such vase by Emmanuel Alfred Beurdeley, now in the Musée des Arts décoratifs, Paris (inv. CD/6499/54).
