The serpentine, lobed body features multiple hand-painted polychrome floral reserves framed by gilt lattice and scroll borders. The interior is finished in a smooth white glaze, secured by a gilded brass rim and hinge mechanism with a push-clasp. Underside displays a blue painted pseudo Sevres double S mark.
