The celebrated ancient Roman marble vase on which this model is based was discovered in fragments in 1771 in the ruins of Hadrian's villa near Tivoli by the Scottish artist and antiquary, William Hamilton. After restoration, it was sold to Hamilton's nephew, George, Earl of Warwick and is now in the Burrell collection in Glasgow. For an engraving of the vase, see Snodin, op. cit., p. 188, fig. 134, by Louis Sellier, after Johann Matthäus Mauch (1792-1856).

Many copies of this vase were made, the most notable by Karl Freidrich Schinkel (1781-1841), the celebrated German architect and designer-see fig.1..

A version of this  vase by Schinkel was sold in these Rooms, lot 148, 3rd July 2007.
