content: Vase with scalloped rim. The shoulder of the vase has thin band of fluting. There is a rosette on the neck of the vase; a festoon is attached to the rosette and drapes over the neck. A siren on either of the side of the vase holds onto the festoon with their left hands; the festoon passes through their right hands. At the lower center of the vase is a stylized shell. A drapery supports the bottom of the vase. The vase has acanthus-scroll feet and an egg-and-dart base. The vase is elevated on a low, square plinth. The plate is not signed or numbered.
