Summary
Artificial stone, The Borghese Vase, supplied by Daniel Pincot (d. London 1797) and/or Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory Co., Lambeth, London, c. 1770-2. A Coade stone Borghese vase with relief of a Bacchanalian festival, raised on marble pedestal. Unsigned. After the antique marble vase formerly at Villa Borghese and now in Louvre (Haskell and Penny 1981, no.81, p.315). According to Kenneth Woodbridge (quoted in Kelly 1990, pp. 38 fn. 4, 386) a subscription payment to Daniel Pincot of £5.5.0 is recorded in the Stourhead accounts of October 1770 (for what exactly Woodbridge does not say) followed by a later payment to Eleanor Coade, for the sum of £12 14s 6d, in May 1771. The F.M. Piper drawing of 1779 shows the vase in the Venetian Seat which was demolished in the 1790s.
