These elegant little vases relate to the oeuvre of the fondeur-ciseleur Antoine-Philippe Pajot (d. 1781), who produced furniture mounts (supplied notably to Adrien Delorme, Jean-François Leleu and Pierre Macret), and mounts for porcelain, glass, rock crystal and hardstones.
He seems to have specialised in glass and rock crystal as the 1777 inventory of his workshop lists 'dix sept pièces en cristal de roches destinés a former trois vases', for the marchand-mercier Antoine Magnien, as well as considerable work mounting porcelain, such as three blue glass vases sent by the marchand-mercier Jean-Bertin Tesnier to be mounted.
A pair of closely related vases was sold, 'Monsieur and Madame François', Christie's, London, 9 June 2011, lot 3 (£15,000 with premium).
