This from, perhaps derives in part from ornament in Jacques Stella's, Livre de Vases, Paris 1667. Vases with stands of this form are rarely recorded in the literature, see F. Severne McKenna, Chelsea Porcelain, The Gold Anchor Wares (Leigh-on-Sea, 1952), pl. 398, no. 74. See also the pair lent from the Mrs. Bellamy Gardner collection, 'English Pottery and Porcelain' English Ceramics Circle, Victoria and Albert Museum, Commemorative Exhibition Catalogue (London, 1949), nos. 250 and 251 subsequently sold Sotheby's London, 22nd May 1962, lot 41.
