The tops are decorated with yellow-orange, red and green floral motifs and a small bird sitting on a branch, magnified by the presence of a "Greek Key" motif on the surrounding top edge. The central base is further decorated with yellow and salmon floral motifs. The whole is magnified by gold highlights of Peking engraved in the wood.
