The form was first conceived by Jean-Claude Duplessis for the vase for the bouquet of Vincennes flowers given by the Dauphine to her father, the Elector of Saxony. Duplessis produced the shape with an immeasurable number of variations culminating in the Vase Duplessis à tête d'éléphants, for a full discussion of these variations see Tamara Préaud and Antoinette Fay-Hallé, Porcelaines de Vincennes, les origines de Sèvres, pp. 140-142
