Exhibited

Probably presented at the Exposition de l’Union

Centrale des Arts Décoratifs (UCAD), Paris, 1887 –

Almost certainly shown at the 1889 Exposition

Universelle in Paris. Both MAD and V&A vases

(2496 and 2499) were acquired in 1889 during the

Paris World Fair which strongly substantiates the

presence of our vase (2498) as well.
