专家说明

Also know as a vase à couronnes, the present model was likely designed by Jean-Claude Duplessis. See Savill, op. cit., pp. 233-244 for an in depth discussion of the model, its variations, and the example in the Wallace Collection.

The decoration is taken from an engraving of Watteau's painting of the same subject entitle L'Avanturière. Cf. Emile Dacier & Albert Vuaflart, Jean de Jullienne et les Graveurs de Watteau au XVIIIe Siècle

Charles-Eloi Asselin, active a Sèvres as a painter of figures and patterns, 1765-1800.
