Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition.
The gilding is very slightly rubbed and tarnished. One fixation element for the screw is missing to the upper part of the garland.
As stated in the catalogue, the ormolu neck to the top of the vase is later.
The agate and the jasper are in good overall condition, but two lower panels of the base need to be refixed.
Beautiful shape and very decorative object.

Catalogue Note
Ce vase est à rapprocher d'une pendule autrefois dans la collection de la comtesse Mona Bismarck puis D. Riahi vendue chez Christie's à New York le 2 novembre 2000, lot 21. Trois paires de vases, similaires à celui que nous présentons sont connues, et permettaient vraisemblablement de constituer une garniture avec le modèle de pendule précité. Une paire de vases appartenait à la collection de la comtesse Craven, vente Sotheby's Londres, le 20 novembre 1961, lot 144 (puis vente collection Bensimon, vente Couturier-Nicolaÿ, Paris, novembre 1981, lot 56), une seconde provenait de la collection Leo Spik, Berlin, 19-21 mars 1987, lot 1945, enfin la troisième fut vendue à Paris, étude Cornette de Saint Cyr, le 19 mai 1999, lot 101.
La forme de ce vase est inspirée du vase bouc du Barry B créé à la manufacture de porcelaine de Sèvres en 1771, réalisé en trois grandeurs. un exemplaire est conservé au J. Paul Getty Museum (inv. 70.DE.99.1-2), une paire au musée du Louvre (OA. 6237).
