This vase was originally the lower section of a beaker or tsun-shaped vase that was severed below its bulging central section. The original piece was cut inside the foot rim to make a new opening, which is now the top of the vase. The lid originally belonged to a kuan-shaped jar that was cut, altered, and also probably inverted to suit a new purpose. The gilt-bronze mounts are attributed to the Parisian bronze caster Jean Godille, who is mentioned in the 1773 Almanach du Dauphin as “famous for his porcelain and other precious mounted vases.”Source: Vignon, Charlotte.
