The jug on the left has a decorative pattern of spirals near the top, while the jug on the right displays the inscription "1791 : IM" and a row of dots underneath. The color palette consists primarily of muted earth tones and shades of blue-grey. Positioned side by side, the jug on the left is to the left, and the inscribed jug is to the right, each angled slightly inward.
