label: Description
content: The neck of the vase is tall and fluted. Griffins sit on either side of the spout, their front paws on the low handles. The body of the vase is ovoid in shape. A snake wraps around the foot of the vase and holds a branch of oak leaves in its mouth. This branch adorns the otherwise plain body of the vase. The vase is raised on a simple, low, square pedestal. The plate is lettered and numbered.
