This neoclassical vase is distinguished by its satyr-head handles. At sèvres, a plaster model for these shapes is inscribed with the name of the sculptor etienne-maurice falconet (1716-1791), but the designer was more likely the director of sculpture at the manufactory, louis-simon boizot (1743-1809). Jean-louis morin (1731-1787) decorated the vases with harbor scenes, and jean pierre boulanger père (1722-1785) was responsible for the gilding. Date: 1776. Place of creation: Sèvres, France. Dimensions: 42.6 cm (16.7 in). Medium: soft-paste porcelain. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory - One of a Pair of Vases (Vase à bandes) - Walters 48560 - View A
