From the museum record

As beautifully designed objects, the function of these vases is not immediately apparent. Created to contain potpourri, a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices emitting ambient fragrance, their covers are decorated with delicate flowers spaced by small, unobtrusive perforations. The decoration continues onto the body of the container where intricate ribbing emulates a basket weave.

Lupin’s visual index

Two delicate white porcelain urns are adorned with intricate floral basket designs and sculpted foliage.
