A vase kept at the Musée Olympique in Lausanne, donated by the Ministère de l'Instruction publique et des Beaux-Arts (inv. 6363). This porcelain vase was part of an order of 323, all presented to the gold medalists of the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. Each vase features four bas-relief medallions depicting sports scenes on a laurel-leaf background, and there are four different series of sports vases. Due to the late date of delivery, most of these vases were shipped to their foreign recipients via the embassies and legations of the countries concerned. Produced by the prestigious Manufacture de Sèvres, these vases embody the technical mastery and prestige of French craftsmanship. The decoration was created by Octave Guillonnet (Paris, 1872-Montgeron, 1967), a painter known first for his Orientalist and Symbolist compositions, then for his sports paintings. He exhibited a monumental "Rugby Game" at the 1899 Salon. He was also a member of the Société des Peintres et Sculpteurs de Sport from its foundation in 1922.
