Please note that the pink ground colors on the vase and the stand are differing and the gilding is perhaps misfired. There is some very minor rubbing to the gilding along the edges of the vase, where it sits on the stand. There is a firing-related crack running around one of the reticulated sides on the stand.

Rosalind Savill mentions in The Wallace Collection, Catalogue of Sèvres porcelain, Volume I, p. 69 that the production of the third size was delayed until 1758, to which the present vase dates. She further states on p. 71 that although many other examples of this model survives, these are mainly the first and second sizes and fewer examples of the third size dating to 1758 exist.
