Outlined, two-dimensional design drawings of a set of eight glass vessels of varying shapes and sizes on a horizontal, rectangular sheet of off-white paper. From the viewer's left to right, the objects include a V-shaped water glass with a base similar to that of a wine glass and a slightly smaller but similarly shaped water glass, followed by a rounded finger bowl. The bowl resembles a champagne cup with a wide, flat base and without the long stem. Next is a triangular, martini glass-like finger bowl with a small, inverted bell-shaped base. Two bonbonnières with covers follow, one small and one large, resembling an upright globe and used for small candies or bonbons. A short candlestick with a wide, inverted bowl-shaped base is next, and finally, a tall candlestick in the shape of an upside-down goblet. The last object is the tallest of the set, and each object is drawn with its centerline and height clearly marked, placed side-by-side with minimal space in-between. Descriptions are annotated underneath each object, carefully aligned between two thin parallel lines. The drawings are very faint, possibly having faded over time, and the notes, written in German, are blurred in the image. The artist's signature, [J.L. Lobmeyr], is on the bottom right corner in angled cursive. The drawing is on a lighter sheet of paper, giving it a framed appearance. Another annotation on the bottom right cover of the larger sheet is similarly indistinguishable. The striking, architectural feel of the presentation contrasts with the image of the softly angular vessels.

The topmost part of this compote is wide and made of scalloped sterling. It allows for easy access to the contents. As we work our way down the compote there are two convex rings of silver that lead to a vertically carved, also convex, short length of ebony. The next lower part is a small silver design with feathers and points that looks something like a really small loving cup. Further down, there is a convex length of ivory, scored vertically like the ebony above, but longer. The ivory has yellowed in places and is above a silver element that has more feathery curves surrounding what almost looks like a squat pumpkin. This piece ends in silver components: more scalloping and scored balls with two little people or animals, one on either side of each ball. The compote sits on a wide, thin flat round of silver.

The topmost part of this two-piece sterling, ivory and ebony candle set is scalloped and open and faces up, like a flower. On each candle cup is a monogram. Scalloped silver is then repeated but this time is facing downward and inward. Carved silver elements are above and below a vertically incised short length of ebony. Like its relative, the matching compote, this includes a small silver design with feathery curves and striated silver points that look something like a rather small loving cup. A wide piece of vertically carved ivory, one of which is quite cracked and yellowed, is above a silver element that has more feathery curves surrounding what looks like a squat pumpkin. This piece ends in silver components: more scalloping and scored balls with two little people or animals one on either side of each ball. Each candlestick sits on a wide, thin and flat round of silver.

A pair of dress clips/brooch designed with repeated geometric symmetrical forms encrusted with diamonds, sapphires, and pearls set in platinum resembling the form of a shield. A large oval cabochon sapphire graces the center wrapped in a halo of diamonds. Faceted square-cut sapphires are centered and set in a row from the top of the dress clip to the cabochon surrounded by diamonds hugging the row on both sides. A symmetrical step design forms into a square at both sides enveloping a small square-cut sapphire. Several white round pearls with slight variation in color are evenly spaced and adorn the angled bottom edge in a stable setting. The dress clips enhance the neckline of a garment and would be placed at an angle on each side. The photograph captures the objects in a direct frontal view where the left clip is higher than the right one against a gray ground with reflected gradient light.
