Approximately hour-glass shaped in plan with moulded sides and two quatrefoil depressions in the top for the salt. There are two holes for suspension inside the side wall.The ground is bleu celeste. On each side there is a long, rectilinear reserve, framed by gilded rocaille scrolls, flowers and mosaique patterns (trellis enclosing dots at one end, and groups of three dots at the other end of each reserve). Each reserve is painted in polychrome with two birds in a landscape. There is a gold band round the base and a dentilate gold band round the upper edge which also has a band of gold dots on the inside edge. The two depressions are outlined by a gold line and dots.
