The krater-shaped cassolette, with bacchic drapery festooned from a ribbon-guilloche is conceived in the antique manner promoted around 1770 by Sir William Chambers (d.1796), architect to King George III. The design relates to the balustrade urns which Chambers designed for Somerset House, London (1176-1796).
See J. Harris, Sir William Chambers, London, 1970, fig. 161.
