[2] [8] On the neck are two elephant heads forming two handles. Originally, the vases had porcelain rings suspended from the handles. [4] There are a few small differences in decorations between the two vases, for example, the mouth of the dragon is closed in one but open in the other. [2]
The lower body is shaped like the calyx of a flower, and the foot is stepped. The psykter-shaped vase fits inside it so well stylistically that it has been suggested that the two might have often been made as a set.

The Kerch style / ˈ k ɜːr tʃ /, also referred to as Kerch vases, is an archaeological term describing vases from the final phase of Attic red-figure pottery production. Their exact chronology remains problematic, but they are generally assumed to have been produced roughly between 375 and 330/20 BC.
The tiny horned, Pan-like head that forms the bezel of ring (item 23) [11] appears to be unparalleled, and may well be intended as a reference to Faunus, while the design of (item 7), [12] two birds flanking a vase, is both a standard Bacchic image, eventually adopted in Christian iconography, and possibly something more specific in this instance.
Vases generally share a similar shape. The foot or the base may be bulbous, flat, carinate, [1] or another shape. The body forms the main portion of the piece. Some vases have a shoulder, where the body curves inward, a neck, which gives height, and a lip, where the vase flares back out at the top. Some vases are also given handles.
Handles were also added after removal from the mold. [12] Lamps, candlesticks and vases were pressed in separate parts and fused together while still hot. [14] Finished pieces were fire polished by reheating in the furnace, which softened the pattern and gave the piece a diffuse brilliance. [15]
