DescriptionPair of blown colorless non-lead glass finger bowls with stained yellow sides. Each finger bowl has a flat cut or polished rim and sides. The sides curve out slightly, then down to a round foot that has been polished on the bottom. The exterior side of each finger bowl is stained yellow, with a finely engraved, translucent white decoration: wide leaves on branches or vines with grapes and squiggly lines. There are a minimal number of scratches on the bottom of each finger bowl.
