Plate 2: Cherubs with a floral garland and streaming ribbons, with a butterfly in the upper left.
Dark charcoal patina throughout, consistent with age. Unmarked; the metal appears to be pewter or a similar white-metal alloy (non-magnetic). Minor surface wear and light scratches on the wells as shown in photos — no cracks, breaks, or repairs noted. Suitable for display or wall hanging.
