Vases of this type would have been used for planting and growing bulbs in season, hence the pierced separate stands which allowed for watering the growing bulbs.  Out of season,  porcelain flowers on painted metal stems are known to have been displayed in vases of this type.  They were usually grouped in pairs with other shapes to form sets known as 'garnitures', and placed on mantelpieces and pieces of furniture, often with mirrors behind them, adding to the rich decorative effect.","physicalDescription":"Flower vase and stand of soft-paste porcelain decorated with a green ground reserved with scenes and flowers painted in enamels, the rims and ground with gilded patterns.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Vielliard, André-Vincent (père)","id":"A28938"},"association":{"text":"painter","id":"x36959"},"note":"probably"},{"name":{"text":"Tandart, Jean-Baptiste (l'aîné)","id":"A29200"},"association":{"text":"painter","id":"x36959"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Sèvres porcelain factory","id":"A406"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"soft paste porcelain","id":"AAT10665"}],"techniques":[{"text":"applied","id":"AAT53646"},{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"gilded","id":"AAT53789"},{"text":"pierced","id":"AAT231153"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Soft paste porcelain, applied with ground colour, pierced, painted in enamels, gilded","categories":[{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"},{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Rococo","id":"AAT21155"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2010EH1892","2009CB6505","2009CB6408","2017KE1847"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"139","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"W","shelf":"2","box":""},{"current":{"text":"139","id":"THES49874"},"free":"","case":"W","shelf":"2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Flower holder","id":""}],[{"text":"Stand","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Sèvres","id":"x29522"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1760","earliest":"1760-01-01","latest":"1760-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"756:1-1882","id":"O1155496"},"association":"Pair"}],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by John Jones","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"crossed Ls mark enclosing date letter G","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"for 1760"},{"content":"mark of three dots","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"for the flower painter Tandart"}],"objectHistory":"One of a pair with 756:1, 2-1882.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Flower vase and stand of soft-paste porcelain, probably painted by André-Vincent Vielliard, Sèvres porcelain factory, Sèvres, 1760.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Carey, Juliet. <u>Peasants on porcelain: Sèvres and the taste for Teniers</u>.
