Two layers of opaque pink and green glass are overlaid to form the ground. The inside of the rim retains a trace of grinding. The central part of the inner bottom has a smooth yet irregular surface. The outer side of the bottle has the design of pine and willow trees in front and back, and horses resting in the shade done in relief. The patterns on the two bottles are designed symmetrically, indicating that they were used in combination with each other. The foot is also carved.
