Documents in the Sèvres porcelain manufactory archives call these vessels vases à têtes de bouc ("goat's head" vases), after their elaborate handles modeled in the form of rams' heads with grape vines hanging from their mouths. Despite their removable stoppers, these vases were purely decorative objects, serving no practical purpose.

The distinctive decoration of bold patterns in gilding over a dark blue ground is typical of a style popular in the 1760s. The Sèvres manufactory only introduced this deep blue glaze, known first as bleu nouveau (new blue) then beau bleu (beautiful blue), in 1763.
