專家說明

This unusual form of squared porcelain vase mounted with early 19th century ormolu is similar to a single vase with rococo mounts including a chinoiserie canopy in the James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire (G. de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, London, 1974, pp. 756-8, no. 198). As in the case of this pair of vases, which were catalogued in the Fribourg collection as being 18th Century in their entirety, the bronzes of the Waddesdon vase were regarded as 18th century until 1965, after which they became accepted as 19th century.
