The plinth-supported vases are mounted in the early 19th Century 'antique' manner with reed-gadrooned rims enscrolled by bacchic serpents that emerge from their acanthus-wrapped and cluster-reed handles. The latter, bound by central Egyptian-palm calixes, spring from entwined and ribbon-tied acanthus-buds, that serve like cornucopiae to festoon the vase-shoulders with fruit and flowers, emblematic of Peace and Plenty. Like the pair of related celadon vases with entwined handles, which were mounted about 1810 for George, Prince Regent, later King George IV, the design and execution of these mounts can be attributed to Messrs. Vulliamy (see: J. Harris, G. de Bellaigue and O. Millar, Buckingham Palace, London, 1968, pp. 68-69)
