These vases can be attributed to the firm of Jacob-Petit. First cited in the Almanach du Commerce in 1834, Jacob-Petit established themselves at Sèvres in 1847 in association with Moriot père and by 1850 employed 150 workers. Their success, however, was to a large part responsible for their bankruptcy in 1848, as their succesful models were plagiarised, their apprentices poached by the competition and their manufacturing techniques became increasingly expensive.
