These impressive vases, of wine-krater form inspired by the celebrated Borghese and Medici antiquities, are mostly embellished with Bacchic goat-heads and bas-reliefs of festive youths in a triumphal procession riding on goats and panther-drawn chariots. This pair is decorated with grape-vines and is similary related to the Bacchic relief ornaments of these vases in silver designs executed around 1810 by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (d. 1823).
A very similar pair of vases in ormolu was sold at Christie's, London, 13 June 2002, lot 122 (£38,240).
