John Flaxman Senior (1726-95) provided designs and plaster models for the Wedgwood vases, and invoiced Josiah Wedgwood on 25 March, 1775 (CHECK is this 3 January 1775 the date given in VAM cat 1995) for 'A pair of Vases, one with a satyr & the other with a Triton Handle £3.3s.' (Wedgwood Archives, University of Keele, L1-204). The plasters are in the Wedgwood Archives. Flaxman's drawing for the ewer 'Sacred to Neptune' (Wedgwood Archives, no. 4548)The form is no. 236 in the Wedgwood Shape Book (54.30019) where they were described as 'Marine & Satyr Handles & Ewer Sacred/to Neptune & Bacch-us'. They are also in the Shape Book water-marked 1794 rebound in 1916. They sold at 42/- ( 2 guineas) in black and 105/- (5 guineas) in jasper.
