Catalogue Note
Il est possible de rapprocher cette pièce d'un brûle-parfum du Metropolitan Museum de New York illustré dans Faith Dennis, Three centuries of French Domestic Silver, p. 367. Daté de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle, il n'est cependant pas poinçonné et sa datation est remise en question.
