Beaufort 系列陶瓷甕的設計靈感，來自殖民時期威廉斯堡歷史區總督官邸中，一張綠色漆飾床架上精緻的凹槽甕形柱飾。這張床的頂部裝飾與柱頭設計，源自 Hepplewhite 所設計的「威尼斯式」床架風格。綠色的甕身呼應了英國皇家總督 Lord Botetourt 在 1768 至 1770 年間居住於官邸時所選用的家具配色。值得一提的是，Botetourt 的妹妹是第四任 Beaufort 公爵夫人，她的莊園 Badminton 被譽為當時英國最典雅華麗的鄉村宅邸之一，為本系列注入豐富的歷史與文化底蘊。

The Beaufort collection of ceramic urns was inspired by the fluted urn-shaped finials that crown a green japanned bedstead in the Governor′s Palace in Colonial Williamsburg′s Historic Area. The cornice and finials for the bed are based on a Hepplewhite design for a "Venetian" bedstead. The green color represents the Palace furnishings of Lord Botetourt, British royal governor of Virginia, who lived there from 1768 to 1770. Botetourt′s sister was the 4th Duchess of Beaufort, whose country seat, Badminton, was one of the most elegantly furnished country houses in England.
