Specialist note

A closely related pair of vases was bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, by George Blumenthal in 1941 (acc. num. 41.190.62, .63). The Blumenthal pair is dated by the Met to the 18th century and the provenance given as ‘possibly Lord Henry Cavendish Bentinck’; the pair was then in the collection of George and Florence Blumenthal (before 1930–32; sale, George Blumenthal collection, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, 1-2 December 1932, no. 90, pl. XLV; pair sold for 28,000 FF; after 1932–1941).
