Specialist note

A pair of 'imitation Cashmere' vases made by Coalport were exhibited in 1873 at a Vienna exhibition, and subsequently purchased by Sir Richard Wallace. Inspired by the exceedingly popular textiles and cashmere fabrics from India and the Middle East, the design employed similar diamond shape blocks of jewels and elaborate borders. See M. Messenger, Coalport 1795-1926, Suffolk, 1995, pp. 262-265.
