There were many porcelain connoisseurs in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. Monarchs as well as wealthy individuals assembled huge collections. August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, was the greatest collector. He filled entire palaces with porcelain. He had the pieces marked on their bases with incised numbers and symbols. These two large vases came from his collection.
