| Object history | This vase represents the combined work of Carrier-Belleuse, who was responsible for the basic shape, known as Buire de Blois, and Rodin, with his assistant Roger, who executed the figures and ornamental reliefs. |
| Historical context | Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse was artistic director at Sèvres from 1875. Rodin officially joined Sèvres in 1879 at the invitation of Carrier-Belleuse in whose commercial studio he had worked since the 1860s in an undemanding role which allowed him to indulge in an apparently innocent sensuality. |
