Kurfürst Friedrich August III., Sohn August des Starken, beauftragte den Hofbildhauer Johann Joachim Kaendler 1741/42 mit einem fünfteiligen Vasensatz, die Versinnbildlichung der vier Elemente darstellend, als Geschenk an den französischen König Ludwig XV., um sich dessen Allianz zu sichern. Aufgrund der veränderten politischen Situation infolge des österreichischen Erbfolgekrieges (1740 - 1748) verblieben die vier Elementenvasen jedoch letztendlich in Dresden. Nach einer umfassenden Restaurierung der Vasen sind sie seit 2019 in neuer Repräsentation im rekonstruierten Porzellankabinett im Dresdner Residenzschloss zu sehen.
