Lot Essay

The blank panels on each side may indicate that the decoration of these vases (or monumental storage jars) may not have been completed as intended. It is possible that the cartouches were designed to enclose a coat-of-arms, and that the circumstances of the commission prevented this, or alternatively, perhaps they were designed as storage jars (as suggested by the handles), and the cartouches were intended to enclose paper labels.
