History

The vase Duplessis was made in several variations at the Vincennes manufactory in the late 1740s and early 1750s. A pair of Vincennes vases, circa 1752-53, of the type that the Meissen manufactory must have copied are in the collection of the Minneapolis Museum of Art (accession no. 82.2.1).
