Note: Lorenzo Bartolini (1777-1850) was born in Tuscany, received his initial training in the alabaster workshops of Florence and Volterra. His ambition to be a sculptor led him to Paris in 1798, where he studied at the École des Beaux Arts. He became a close friend of the painter Ingres and was part of the community of neoclassical artists centered around David's studio. In 1808 Bartolini was appointed director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara by Napoleon, which under his guidance, eclipsed its Florentine counterpart. At the same time, he carried out numerous Imperial commissions, including an 18-foot statue of the emperor Napoleon, and a number of busts portraying Empress Josephine, the King of Spain, Emperor Alexander I of Russian and the poet Byron. After the fall of Napoleon, the continued his career in Florence, where his patrons included Thomas Hope and the 6th Duke of Devonshire amongst other English connoisseurs.
Another single alabaster vase is attributed to Bartolini, formerly in the Duke of Northumberland's collection at Syon House, Middlesex, it shares many of the elements discussed above.

From the collection of “Calcite Charlie” Charles Potter. The most glamorous and successful of the salesmen was Charles Potter, who came to the Steuben Glass Works in about 1906 or 1907 and continued to be Carder’s ace representative until about 1932. A tall, lithe man, Potter had a handsome aquiline nose, enhanced in his later years by an elegant pince-nez. With his expensively tailored clothes, courtly manners, and charming personality, he became known as the ‘man who kept Steuben running.’ So large were is sales of Calcite glass lamps and shades when these were introduced about 1915 that customers and competitors alike affectionately dubbed him ‘Calcite Charlie.’ P. 33 Gardner.
