Lot Essay

These cache-pots were modeled after a pair of lidded vases inspired by the designs of Jean-Charles Delafosse, and now at the Louvre (inv. OA5445). Originally in the collection of Jean de Jullienne, the vases were transferred to Saint-Cloud after the Revolution where they remained until at least the Second Empire, when they adorned the study of Empress Eugénie.
