DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Soft-paste porcelain, moulded, and covered with white, slightly opacified glaze, except for an irregular strip on each base. In the shape of two blunt-nosed boats with rudders, joined along one side. The stern end of each boat is covered and on one there is a seated monk with his cowell drawn back to reveal his tonsure, and on the other a seated woman, probably a nun, with her hands in a muff. The spoons (A & B) have an oval leaf-shaped bowl, moulded on the back with veins and two small leaves branching from the branch which forms the handle. The latter curves upwards slightly and is cut off diagonally at the upper end, so that it resembles a pointed ear.
object type: Soft-paste porcelain container for condiments in the form of two boats, with a white glaze, accompanied by two spoons.
