A hexagonal metal pot (part a) set on six short feet placed at junctions of ajoining planes. There is a flat base, a spout, and a handle. The shoulders curve in to a high hexagonal neck with a projecting lip. A lid (part b) of equal depth with the neck is fitted tightly within it, with a matching projecting lip resting on that of the neck. The hexagonal dome lid flattens at the top and is surmounted by the figure of a lion with one front paw resting on a ball.

Thirteen-sided polyhedron, planes terminating at shoulder and near base in smooth steeply curving surfaces. Grey-white dense porcelain body exposed at rim of wide mouth; low foot ring and base glazed, both thickly encrusted with fine gravel and dirt. Vessel entirely covered in dark brown glossy glaze with some iridescence, pulling away at shoulders and plane intersections to a light yellow-brown; displaying pooling and dripping, very dark brown, elsewhere.

A ceramic bowl that has a steeply rounded form with an everted lip. The white porcelaneous body is grey-brown with iron specks where fired. There is a high foot which has an unglazed foot rim. The base is conical, and glazed. Interior has a floral motif in the centre, sketchily painted underglazed in bright blue, and two blue lines at junction of bottom and wall, one just below lip. Exterior has six separate, freely painted but similar, scrolling leaf, petal and vine motifs in bright underglaze blue evenly distributed around bowl. The thick grey-white glaze has numerous bubbles with iron specks and bare spots and pools into thicker white over painting, greying the blue tone.
