In 1774, Sigisbert Fran?ois Michel, brother to the French sculptor Clodion, exhibited a pair of plaster ewers surmounted by a triton and a satyr in the Académie de Saint-Luc, Paris. This prototype was the basis for a number of subsequent ewers in malachite (the Wallace Collection, London), biscuit porcelain (Musée d'Orléans) and bronze (Musée Nissim de Camondo, Paris). The celebrated sculptor John Flaxman (1755-1826) supplied designs inspired by Michel's model not only to Josiah Wedgwood, who produced versions in basalt and jasperware, but also to the Royal goldsmiths Rundell, Bridge and Rundell. (London, Royal Academy of Arts, John Flaxman, R.A., 26 October to 9 December 1979, David Bindman ed., No. 19 a and b).
