Catalogue Note
En 1706, Joseph Fleuriau d'Armenonville (1661-1728) se vit contraint par le roi de vendre sa propriété de Rambouillet au comte de Toulouse et reçut en échange la charge de la capitainerie de la Muette et des chasses du bois de Boulogne, incluant la jouissance des châteaux du domaine. Abandonnant en 1716 le château de la Muette pour celui de Madrid, il y résida régulièrement et y mourrut en 1728.
Ce vase qui s'inspire des dessins de Claude Ballin (1615-1678) et de Jean Le Pautre (1618-1682) fut sans doute commandé par Fleuriau d'Armenonville avant son accession au poste de garde des Sceaux en 1722, car les insignes de cette charge ne figurent pas aux côtés de ses armoiries.
