The larger item is a biscuit barrel with a moulded glass body featuring a wavy optical pattern, fitted with a silver-plated mount comprising a swing handle and a matching lid with a spherical finial.

Both pieces are marked with small white and orange paper inventory labels bearing the numbers 3 and 278. No manufacturer marks or silver hallmarks are visible on the metal components.
