formed in complementary shapes, each dish naturalistically rendered with furled edges and incised lines articulating the veins on the underside of the 'pads', the tops polished smooth, the translucent white stone dappled with apple-green and russet, with later-added ormolu mounts (2)

In overall good condition with very few small nicks and bruises to the edges, very minor expected surface wear. Please note that the mounts were not removed, therefore the areas concealed by the mounts were not inspected.
