These two fruit bowls have a main structure of ormolu. It has a base decorated with vines, bunches of grapes, floral spikes and two cherubs picking grapes from the vine. On top of this base, there is a platform with handles in the shape of vines laden with grapes, with a crystal dish. On top of this, there is a calyx-shaped candleholder.

An outstanding characteristic of these fruit bowls is the quality of the bronze figures and motifs, which are treated with great simplicity and sincerity.
