Hope's Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, pl. 48, no. 3 notes that the pattern of this vase was 'copied from antiques in the Albani and Barberini collections'. Hope had this pattern copied and a pair was made and placed at one end of his sculpture gallery at Duchess Street, as guardians to the entrance to the other rooms of his mansion museum.
