拍品专文

This beautiful candle-vase is highly ornamental and designed to show off the carefully selected figured blue john body. It almost precisely follows a design by Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) and John Fothergill (1730- c.1782) published in their Pattern Book No. 1 (p. 171, fig. h) and reproduced in Sir Nicholas Goodison's Matthew Boulton: ORMOLU (p. 278, fig, 178).

A nearly identical pair of candle-vases sold at Canterbury Auction Galleries, 7 June 2020, lot 630 (£40,000), and another at Sotheby's, Paris, 23 June 2021, lot 142 (37,000 EUR).
