These perfect pairs are luxuriously decorated in rich colours and gilt. Elegantly shaped with a flared foot supporting a bulbous, elliptical body with a tall, slender neck decorated with moulded bands terminating in a slightly flared neck. They have a central continuous panel of raised and incised foliate scrolls and flower heads over a stippled ground with multiple bands of delicate decorative boarders above and below. The neck is similarly decorated with smaller foliate scrolls over the same stippled ground and again with matching boarders above and below. These fine examples are in excellent original condition with no restoration.
