Description

Two straight-sided glass vessels stand side by side on a pale surface, each with a thick rolled rim and a flat base. The surfaces are weathered and clouded, with darker mottling and some pitting, and the left vessel looks slightly wider and rougher than the right. Soft shadows fall beside each vessel, showing how they sit on the ground.
