About this work

The pointed oval, vaulted vessels (A, B, C, and D), with slightly raised walls on the sides, rest on an oval foot that tapers strongly upwards, set on a straight-sided base. The body is pierced with alternating rosettes and rosettes. Pearl borders run around the foot, around the upper rim of the body, and over the high, rising, curved ears. The small vessels contain inner vessels of blue glass, of which D has been repaired with staples.
