Each vase features a graceful baluster form, adorned with a vibrant yellow ground and intricate puce Watteau scenes. Each vase is decorated with charming front and back cartouches. The Watteau scenes on these vases depict idyllic pastoral settings, featuring elegantly dressed figures engaged in charming interactions.
