Design for a Vase with the Crowned Escutcheon of Great Britain, from Vasses de la Maison Royalle de L'oo, part of Œuvres du Sr. D. Marot
Design for a vase with a cylindrical body and lacking handles. On the body, the crowned escutcheon of Great Britain, flanked by figures and armorial trophies. At top, a burning bullet. 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.
