Andr-Vincent Vielliard was active at Vincennes and Svres as a painter of figures, trophies, patterns and flowers, 1752-1790. During the early years of his career, he was one of the factory's principle painters of Boucher children such as those found on the present vases. At this stage, his painting shows how closely he had examined the work of the decorators at Meissen, particularly in the creation of aerial perspective in the layers of green to blue trees as they recede into the distance.

The scenes of the little girl with fruit and the little boy with a pipe painted on the present vases recur on a pair of vase 'Hollandois' in the Muse national de cramique, Svres of 1754 painted in camaeu bleu and enriched with flesh tints.
