A small bronze reproduction of the so-called Borghese Vase, a colossal marble krater formerly in the Borghese collection in Rome, purchased with the Borghese collection of antiquities by Napoleon I in 1807 and today in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. The bronze vase is in krater form, with an extended lip and fluted stem, the lower section of the bowl extensively decorated with acanthus and equipped with a pair of fluted loop handles rising from satyrs heads. The main scene in relief shows a Bacchic procession, with Bacchus the god of wine, and his companion Ariadne surrounded by their followers, bacchants and maenads, as well as the figure of the drunken Silenus. The background is lightly punched. This work was possibly bought as part of the Robert Adam (1728–1792) remodelling of the Marble Hall between 1760 and 1780, but not mentioned in the 1782 inventory of Osterley Park.
