This vase and stand, with its dark blue and green grounds, extensive gilding, and reserve panels painted with birds and foliage, replicates a vase made at France’s Sèvres Manufactory that was decorated by the celebrated painter Louis-Denis Armand in 1759 that is now held in the Wallace Collection, London (accession number C232-3). The English manufacturer Mintons began making high-quality copies of 18th-century Sèvres porcelain in the mid-19th century.
