This popular vase form featured in Matthew Boulton and John Fothergill's Pattern Book I, p. 171, which documented the range of objects produced at their manufactory in Soho, Birmingham around 1770 (N. Goodison, Ormolu: The Work of Matthew Boulton, London, 1974, fig. 161, no. J).
The basic pattern was generally enriched with fine ormolu mounts to create perfume burners or candle vases, but solid, unmounted examples were not uncommon. A similar pair was sold from the collection of Simon Sainsbury, Christie's, London, 18 June 2008, lot 86 (£49,250 including premium).
