The sides rise to a reeded rim and are pierced with a band of arch work containing flower heads. Each end displays a raying flowerhead in a circular frame. The sides are also engraved with prick dot bands and two oval cartouches, vacant at the back and containing a contemporary family Crest at the front. Each is in quite excellent condition, has a blue glass liner and is fully marked on the underside.
