content: Globular vase. Two winged putti carved in relief on the neck of the vase hold a festoon, which is draped across the body of the vase, draping on either side above a mascaron. A triton at the center of the vase holds part of the festoon in either arm; he sits astride a dolphin that faces toward the viewer. The bottom of the belly of the vase is formed from a scalloped shell. The foot of the vase has reeds going upward; the vase is elevated on a small, low, plinth. The plate is not signed or numbered.
