Both decorated in green, yellow, iron-red and purple with flowers including hibiscus and a daisy with grasses and leaves on branches with insects in flight above.

The differences suggest a degree of experimentation in the design but incorporate elements that became more standardised in the 1730s.

The silver-gilt stoppers date from around 1730.
