Notes: the original vase was a classical marble piece which stood at Warwick Castle until 1979. The bronze cast was an exact copy, including the enormous dimensions of 21ft in circumference and 5ft10in in height. The copy now stands near the east terrace of Windsor Castle. As Thomason made both the vase copy and published this medal to celebrate the vase, he was clearly proud of his achievement.
