content: Vase intended as a perfume burner; in the image smoke escapes from holes at the top near the finial. The shape of the vase is globular and is supported by three bare-breasted female monopods with lion feet, holding leafy swags. The belly of the vase is decorated with rosettes within a guilloche. The vase is elevated on a stepped platform that extends to the edge of the image. The plate is signed but not numbered.
