The present model is based on the 19th century Sèvres variation of an 18th century model originally designed by Bachelier. Called a vase 'Bachelier des Saisons', the 18th century model featured gadroons in place of the foliate rinceau beneath the bas-relief panels.

See Florence Slitine, Samson, génie de l'imitation, 2002, p. 92 for a discussion of the model, its name at Samson presumed to be in recognition of the fact that the noted 19th century ébeniuste Alfred-Emmanuel-Louis Beurdeley (1847-1919) purchased a pair.
