The wine coolers are seated on small porcelain stands and have lion mask decoration in gilt on both sides for handles. The body of the coolers is decorated with hand-painted floral baskets with pink, peach, purple, and yellow flowers on a gold lattice hand-painted background. Under the lion head handles is a gold chain motif draped around, and the lower half has a lovely swirled purple scroll around the vessel's body. These are truly one of a kind. The two coolers sit on porcelain bases and are in very good condition. Some loss of gilt is commensurate with age and use. less
