The set consists of three centrepiece bowls (tazze) on stems with ruby snakes coiled around them, and two water jugs with ruby serpents for handles. It also includes twelve smaller plates, two larger plates, three bowls on stems (two of which are fluted), four shell-shaped dishes (two of which are set on dolphin-form supports) and a pair of goblets.
