Large, heavy ewer commonly known as "Sacred to Bacchus" resting on a square plinth with molded scrolling vines, the foot and lower body fluted and with bands of acanthus leaves around the foot and overlapping leaves around the middle of the body, with a smaller band of beading on the stem, the main body with garlands of leafy grape vines and bunches of grapes, on the should of the ewer sits a faun with his head bowed, he holds the horns of a ram in his hands as reins, his arms encompass the neck of the ewer, with a crossed double handle behind him.
Oval box with pink raised floral design.
A solid light blue jasper candlestick on square plinths with truncated corners, with a white jasper cherub figure supported by a tree trunk covered in creeping ivy and with a small campfire at the base of the tree and representing the season winter, the candle nozzle is fashioned to look like icicles.
