The Roman flower-vase, with enamelled ribbon band in the Byzantine arabesque manner derived from Greek manuscripts and Roman tripod pedestal, bears the stamp of the workshops established by Ferdinand Barbedienne (d. 1892). His manufactures of bronzes d'art won prizes at various international exhibitions from the 1850s to the 1880s, a pioneer of a champleve enamel technique and exhibits in the Byzantine style featured in the London 1862 International Exhibition. The workshops in the rue de Lancry was advertised in the 1880s as Fonderie, fabrication des bronzes, Dorure, Emaillerie, Marbrerie et Reduction.
