Behind the spout there are ten holes forming an eliptical outline with one hole in the centre. The cover is pierced by a ventilation hole, and another, blocked, under the knob. The sides of the pot are decorated with scattered floral sprays of different sizes. On the shoulder there is a border of a zig-zag line with crosses and flowerheads on the bends and blue dots below. Above there is a narrow red line, and a broader puce band round the mouth. The top of the lip of the spout is decorated with a puce half flower and graduated dots, and the back of the handle with a fan-shaped puce flower with dots of graduated size above, and below with a spot, a vertical stroke and a curved line at the bottom. The cover is decorated with two large and two smaller floral sprays and a matching border. The top of the knob is decorated with radiating puce lines. Pattern 298.
