content: Lidded vase with a pinecone finial. On either side of the body of the vase are winged female figures; the tails connect to the lower half of the vase, which is heavily ornamented. At the center is a grotesque mascaron, near whose mouth putti on either side hold garlands of leaves and fruit. Two youthful grotesque male figures support the vase on their shoulders along the vase's foot. The plate is lettered and numbered.
