In 1774, it was brought back by William Hamilton from Italy to Italy. England. If the British Museum refused to acquire it, the cup made the happiness of George Greville, Earl of Warwick, who bought the object. Since 1978, the vase has been on display in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.

This vase has been the subject of numerous copies, but Barbedienne offers a reinterpretation.

Under the upper edge decorated with patterns of ovals and vine leaves, high relief masks represent figures of bearded men - probably fauns - and figures of women, probably a Bacchante.

The handles take the form of tortuous vines while the cup rests on a pedestal.
