Catalogue Note
The mounts of this pair of vases were submitted to a particular tax adopted between 1745 and 1749 probably in order to fund the Austrian Succession War. The mark certifies a dating during this period or just before (L. Moor, « L'orfèvrerie au C couronné », in L'Estampille-L'Objet d'Art, n. 320, pp. 46-53).
