Design for a Vase with Britannia, from Vasses de la Maison Royalle de L'oo, part of Œuvres du Sr. D. Marot
Design for a vase with an octagonal foot and a crown at top. On the body, a bas-relief depiction of the personification of Great Britain in a medallion. From a series of six plates with designs for the garden vases of Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The first edition of the series was likely produced before 1698, when vases were sculpted based on two of the designs.
