The stamped guilloche bands, seen on the present vases appear frequently on vases from Soho, for example on a vase and burner in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (., fig. 253). Other examples of this form include a blue john pair, Anonymous sale; Christie's, London, 6 April 1982, lot 1 and a marble pair illustrated in Goodison, , London1974, fig. 133.
