About this work
The strong form and symmetrical configuration of these garden vases make them perfect examples of the ornamental vocabulary developed by the Frenchman Daniël Marot for the court of William and Mary. Remains of blue-and-white garden vases of this type have been found in the garden of Het Loo Palace. They probably contained exotic plants.
