Designed in the Louis XVI 'antique' manner, while the pearled bands reflect contemporary 'Edtruscan' taste, the vases form and handles can be traced back to antique patterns such as those engraved in Stefano della Bella's Raccolta di vasi diversi, published in Paris in the 1640's. In the 1780's such hard-stone vases, mounted by the bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire (d.1843) and corresponding to patterns produced at the Sevres factory, were retailed by Parisian marchand merciers such as Dominique Daguerre (d.1796)
