The vase is in the shape of a slender beehive made of wickerwork, pierced at the base. The cover is moulded to resemble thatch and has a ring handle in the shape of a doubled over sheaf of corn, tied at the junction with the cover, so that ears of corn radiate from it. Two of each group of three vertical osiers on the vase, the corn stalks and the edges of the thatch on the cover are gilded. The vase stands on a separate square base, decorated with gold scrolls round the outer edges.

The plaster model (without a base) was no. 25 in the 1814 inventory of work 1740-80, and was illustrated by Albert Troude as ‘vase ruche, no. 1’. On accession this vase and its pair (C.3.2 & A-1955) were attributed to Vincennes, but this is not supported by the only documentary records so far found for them by Tamara Préaud, the archivist at Sèvres, which were in 1769 and 1775. The inventory of stock taken on 1 January 1769 listed two vases and their bases in the biscuit ready for glazing, valued at 48 livres each. Four 'vase ruche' were recorded as having fired successfully in the 'Etat de défournement de Couverte du 1er Avril 1769', under moulded pieces (Bibl. d’Institut de France MS 5675, p. 44).This suggests that two were made between 1 January and 1 April. In December 1769 a pair were recorded in the sale's records as bought by the duc de Praslin for 240 livres each. (Vy 4 fol. 193), which might have been the Fitzwilliam's pair. Two vases russe in the white at 48 livres were listed in the inventory of 1 January 1774 and two were sold to a Madame Luillier on 7 August 1775 for 120 livres each (Vy5, 23). reference term-106496 adlib-term-106496 bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-251899070993 18th Century, Mid reference term-113750 adlib-term-113750 9c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005 literal France France country Sèvres Height cm 24.7 reference media-200413 adlib-media-200413 cd205e9d-3f00-3b6f-a874-68a9a1443686 jpeg aa/aa35/C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 683 1616278251639 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/mid_C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1616278251639 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 683 1616278251639 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/preview_C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1616278251639 1 image 0 media image reference media-200412 adlib-media-200412 27cbfb4c-37a4-3425-b637-e0c5af5293b0 jpeg aa/aa35/C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 683 1616245857092 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/mid_C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1616245857092 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 683 1616245857092 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/preview_C_3_1_20_26_20A_1955_C_3_2_20_26_20A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1616245857092 1 image 1 media image reference media-3133343627 portfolio portfolio-media-3133343627 9833b6ae-4069-3527-a932-d873805fcc7e jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/811/large_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202759000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/811/mid_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202759000 1 image C.3.1 & A-1955_C.3.2 & A-1955_1_200902_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202759000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/811/preview_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202759000 1 image 2 media image reference media-3563696823 portfolio portfolio-media-3563696823 ebf55911-3faa-37d8-9360-0826cc05c63e jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/813/large_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202760000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/813/mid_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202760000 1 image C.3.1 & A-1955_C.3.2 & A-1955_2_200902_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202760000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/813/preview_C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202760000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/813/C_3_1___A_1955_C_3_2___A_1955_2_200902_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5120 width pixels 3413 1529202760000 1 image 3 media image reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover other name beehive vase factory name vase ruche history note Possibly Baudin Collection; sold Paris, 12-13 January 1843, lot 131, 'Deux vases a ruche, imitation de Saxe'. .
