From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
This pair of neoclassical vases is beautifully decorated with gilt bronze mounts and painted Chinoiserie scenes, probably influenced by the work of Jean Pillement (1728-1808) or Francois Boucher (1703-70). The objects illustrate a collaboration between painters, gilders, and bronze makers at the famous Sèvres porcelain factory. A similar pair of vases, originally owned by Marie Antoinette at Versailles, are now in the English royal collection. France, Europe
