The Decorative rounded marble flower pots with hat vase gets its name from the famous collector Charles Townley (AD 1737-1805). Gavin Hamilton, Charles Townley’s agent in Italy, describes finding it in numerous fragments together with other sculptures in a large villa at Monte Cagnolo, near Rome, having been ‘…thrown promiscuously into one room about ten feet under ground’. The Townley vase as you see it today has been reconstructed ‘…with great attention, as the work deserves.’ The restored vase was purchased by Townley for £250 in 1774.
