Pair of ovoid-shaped jugs made of colourless transparent glass. The bodies of the vessels are decorated in the matte engraving technique with the images of lush flowers on long stems with carved leaves; the bottoms are decorated with carved rosettes. Each item features silver mounts with interior gilding, including a neck collar with a pouring spout, a hinged lid, and a geometric handle curved at a right angle. The ring-shaped neck mount and the handle are decorated in the Art Nouveau (Modern) style with raised chestnut leaves and fruits; the pouring spouts are sculpturally accentuated with the similar chestnut leaf. The thumbpiece (stop) of the hinged lids is designed as a stylized stem.
