Provenance:
The Earl of Warwick acquired the original marble vase of great proportions and displayed it in a specifically made summer house at Warwick Castle. The vase was excavated in 1771 from Lake Pantanello which was inside the grounds of the Roman Emperor, Hadrian's Villa Tiburtina, Tivoli. The excavated vase was restored by Granjacquet for Sir William Hamilton before he gave it to George Greville, Earl of Warwick. The vase now sits within The Burrell Collection, Glasgow.
