A vase of the same form and decoration, possibly one of the present pair, was exhibited at the Paris Universelle of 1878. See The Illustrated Catalogue of the Paris International Exhibition, 1878, London, p. 7 for a drawing of the vase. Worcester looked to Japan for inspiration for their works, and as the Art Journal notes, the examples on display "not unfrequently surpass[ed] in refinement of design and perfection of manufacture the original efforts of a marvelously artistic and skilled people."
