Thirteen square tin-glazed plastic-bodied earthenware tiles with decoration transfer-printed overglaze in black with a wash of transparent green enamel; the green varies from tile to tile. Each tile has a border of scrolling leaves and a posy of flowers below the base of the central vase design. Of the thirteen tiles (numbered on the back 1-13), nine have neo-classical urns, while three are closer to Renaissance and Mannerist designs: 1. lozenge-shaped vase with an acanthus scroll around the middle and portrait medallions on the lid and (flanked by swags) on the lower part; 2. covered urn with swags and portrait medallions on the body, and gadrooning on the lid, shoulder and lower body; 3. uncovered urn with two fish, tails uppermost, entwined round the tall cylindrical neck; two ring handles; central band decoration with wreath and crossed arrow and fork (?); gadrooning above the base, which appears to be decorated with a shell; 4(?). covered urn with narrow neck and broad shoulder; unusual angular handles which stand vertically and turn in at right angles at the top; decorated with two types of swag, a plain band raised in relief below the shoulder and gadrooning above the base; 5(?). vase in the shape of a wine jug, with pronounced lip and high looping handle; elliptical body with portrait medallion surrounded by a coiled serpent (?); gadrooning above the base; 6. covered urn, its body decorated with a bull's head, swags and rosettes surrounded by wreaths; 7. uncovered urn, with Vitruvian scroll decoration above the shoulder; two ring handles supporting the ends of a large swag; other swags passing through another ring attached below the shoulder of the vase; gadrooning above the base; 8. ovoid urn, its top decorated with foliage and gadrooning; two ring handles, with swags passing through, attached to a relief band of Vitruvian scroll decoration; a rosette between this and a swag; below the swag a second raised band with crenellated decoration; between this and the base Roman-style acanthus decoration; the large base has a wide gadrooned band at its top; 9. Mannerist/ Renaissance vase with flowers filling the bottle-shaped neck; intricate double-scrolled handles attached to the body by acanthus motifs; gadrooning, flowers and foliage around the widest part of the body; gadrooning above the base; the base decorated with volutes; 10(?). Mannerist/Renaissance wine jug with double-scrolled handle attached to the body by a mask and to the neck by a serpent's head (?); the neck appears to be filled with fruit (?); a reclining nude male figure on the body, with a swag below; spiral gadrooning around the shoulder and base; 11(?). Mannerist/Renaissance covered urn with elaborate twisting handles, two on each side; spiral gadrooning above the shoulder, from which hang two overlapping swags; bearded (Satyr?) masks facing left and right on the widest part of the body; gadrooning above the base; 12. uncovered urn with wreath hanging round its narrow neck; bearded (Satyr?) masks on the central band face to left and right, with three rosettes in circular borders between them; below these two swags and, above the base, gadrooning; 13. vase in the shape of a slim amphora, with handles formed by two coiling snakes (their heads attached to the neck, their tails to the vase's shoulder); gadrooned band above the shoulder; portrait medallions (?) facing to left and right; below these swags and a band of bosses; gadrooning above the base.
