Provenance: with Partridge, London. Literature: Partridge - Recent Acquisitions, 1994, p. 70, no. 29. The C-couronné poinçon was a tax mark on any alloy containing copper used between March 1745 and February 1749. A garniture of three vases of simialr outline, which features a central vase with almost identical handles and foot was in the collection of the Princes Colonna at the Palazzo Colonna in Rome (illustrated on top of a lacquer bombé commode by Dubois D. Cooper, Great family Collections, Zurich, 1965, p.24). The shell and coral finial surmounting these vases first featured on the lid of a sucrier from the Nécessaire de voyage of Queen Marie Lescynska, hallmarked for 1729-30. As an ormolu mount, the finial appeared on a pair of vases in the Gaillard de Gagny sale, 29 March 1762, lot 41: ‘le dessus des couvercles est enrichi d’une platforme en ornement avec du corail, & une espece de conque de Triton’; as well as on a pair of Japanese lacquer bowls believed to have come from the collection of Madame du Pompadour at the Château de Bellvue and now in the Louvre (P. Verlet, Les Bronzes Dorés Français du XVIIIe siècle, Paris, 1987, fig. 165, p. 127). Further related finials appear on European and Oriental porcelain including a pair of covered bowls in the Wallace Collection (F115-6: P. Hughes ed., The Wallace Collection, London, 1996, col. II, pp. 1361-5, no. 279); a pot-pourri in the Wrightsman Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (F.J.B. Watson, The Wrightsman Collection, II: Furniture, GIlt Bronze and Mounted Porcelain, Carpets, New York, 1966, no. 246, pp. 436-7); a pair of celadon crackle-glaze porcelain pots-pourris, sold by Colonel and Madame Jacques Balsan, Christie’s London, 30 May 1968, lot 27 and most recently at Sotheby’s Paris, 9 April 2008, lot 98; another pair in the Cincinatti Museum of Art; another in flambé glazed porcelain, acquired by Julius Wernher for Bath House, Picadilly and sold by the Trustees of the Luton Hoo Foundation, Christie’s London, 9 June 1994, lot 34; and a pair of Meissen white porcelain pot-pourri vases, also struck with the C-couronné poinçon, formerly in the collection of Lord Rothschild, sold Christie’s London, 3 July 1975, lot 20 and again from the Collection of Charles de Bestegui, Château de Groussay, near Paris, sold Sotheby’s Paris house sale, 2-6 June 1999, lot 330.
