Provenance

Almost certainly from a garniture of five vases painted by Jean-Jacques Dieu in January 1777 and sold to Louis XVI in 1777 for 4,200 livres (recorded on 6 June 1778).
Collection Edouard Chappey, Paris; sold Galeries Georges Petit, Paris, 29 April – 3 May 1907, lot 645 (one of a pair of vases ‘chinois’, 2ème grandeur, the pair illustrated).
Acquired at the Chappey sale by Madame Guédu for 4,100 francs, probably acting on behalf of Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch (1850-1908).
Very likely the gift of Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch to his mistress, Elizabeta Balletta (c.1870-1959), prima ballerina at the Imperial Mikhailovsky Theatre, St Petersburg (one of a pair of vases ‘chinois’, 2ème grandeur).
Collection of Madame Elizabeta Balletta; sold Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 8 – 11 May 1912, lot 136 (as a pair, for 4,700 francs to Maurice Houzeau, 4 rue de la Paix, Paris).
With Nicolier (Jean Nicolier), Paris, 1964 (as a pair).
The Collection of Juan de Beistegui (1930-2017), l’Hôtel de Lannes, rue de Varennes, Paris, 1965 (as a pair).
Private American Collection, acquired on the art market in Argentina, circa 1990 (as a single vase).
The current owner, acquired through the American art market.
