A pair of vases on a shelf above a figure and a basket. The vases are covered with flowers in relief, and rest on molded bases. The figure is the personification of astronomy, seated and holding the sun. The porcelain basket is decorated on the side with flowers in relief, and the lid is mostly covered with leaves and flowers in relief.
