專家說明

In the London International Exhibition of 1871, one of the pieces receiving the highest praise was a similar little bottle by Solon with Cupid caught in a spider-web. See The Art-Journal Catalogue of The International Exhibition 1871, London, p. 59 for an engraving of this vase, now preserved in the Bowes Museum, County Durham. As Solon chose this subject for his inaugural exhibition with Minton and received critical acclaim, it is likely that it was a personal favourite.
