These porcelain vases bear the arms of Fernando de Valdes y Tamon, a successful governor of the Philippines - at that time part of Spain. Valdes y Tamon had four of these vases made in China for himself and four more for King Philip of Spain. Other parts of the set have survived and are held in collections in America and Europe. In the 19th century sophisticated copies of the vases were made by the French firm of Samson.
