Three-piece bough-pot garniture of creamware covered with a pearl glaze, each of D-shape with convex fronts and flat backs, each resting on three ball feet, the bodies decorated only on the front with silver resist lustre in a pattern of three arches decorated with typical Leeds-style birds and foliage, with a border of repeating circles above, the covers pierced with both large and small holes, with urn-shaped finials.
Vase with a waisted form that flares out and then tapers to the base. The exterior is decorated with plain bands circling the form and a central band made up of horizontal, jagged grooves that decrease in size as they move down the vase. The lip of the vase declines inward toward the center of the vase. The vase's interior is glazed gray-blue with a slight green cast to it. The glaze does not extend completely to the bottom of the vase's interior where there are some lumps and areas with no final color glaze. The vase is heavy.
