These are of oval pear  shape, with cup-shaped lips moulded with lotus petals. The handles are formed as monster heads gripping ribbed loops in their fangs on each shoulder. The sides are moulded with the characters shou (long life) and fu (happiness) within foliate panels among scrolling peonies, the necks with floral rosettes, the bases each with a band of lotus petals above a key-fret border, the glaze on each of a deep sea-green celadon colour, showing traces of burial.
