About this work
The four pointed oval, vaulted vessels (A, B, C and D), which have slightly raised walls on the sides, each rest on an oval foot, strongly tapering upwards, on a straight-sided base. On the body, pierced with alternating knops and rosettes, fits a hinged, vaulted lid crowned by a ribbed pinecone-shaped knob. Pearl borders run around the foot, around the upper edge of the body, over the high-rising, curved ears and around the lid. Inner containers of blue glass fit in the pots.
