This vase form, after a Vincennes model (vase pot-pourri à jour) by Jean-Claude Duplessis, features in a painting of Nicholas and Ann Sprimont with sister-in-law Susannah Protin, English School, circa 1759-60, which was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in 2021 (museum no. E.300-2021). The painting shows Nicholas Sprimont, the great Huguenot craftsman, in the prime of his career, about fifteen years after he had established the Chelsea porcelain factory.
