About this work
The pointed oval, vaulted vessels, which have slightly raised walls on the sides, rest on a pointed oval foot, also rising on the sides, that tapers strongly upwards on a straight-walled base. The body is pierced with knops and circles built from two C-scrolls. Pearl strings run around the foot and along the upper side of the body. The high-rising, curved handles are fluted on the outside. Blue glass liners fit into the vessels.
