There are two ceramic vessels. The vessel on the left has a handle, while the one on the right does not. The vessels have a muted color palette with gray and subtle blue patterns near the top. They are set against a plain light background, with the handled vessel slightly left of center and the handle curving to the left. Intricate blue floral patterns adorn the upper half of the handled vessel. The vessel on the right is smooth and round, featuring similar floral patterns around its neck.
