Earthenware, tin-glazed greyish-white overall. The glaze on the interior is speckled with grey. Painted in greyish-blue and gold.
Oval, standing on a footring. The deep lobed sides have fourteen scallops round the rim, and at each end there is the stump of an upward-curving handle.
The exterior is decorated with vertical panels outlined in blue and gold. At centre front there is a shield charged with the arms of Acquaviva d'Aragona Quarterly: 1,4, counter-quartered in pale, Aragon, Hungary, Anjou-Sicily and Jerusalem; 2,3, a lion rampant, impaling Salviati three bends double embattled sinister, encircled by the collar of the Order of St Januarius and surmounted by a ribbon bearing the motto `MARAAM' and a crown. The three panels to the left contain a king carrying two small vessels on a stand, a floral spray, and a man in classical dress with a basket of grapes on his head. The two panels on the right contain an actor in eighteenth-century costume holding his hat in his right hand, and a floral spray. Under the handle on the right there is a butterfly and under the other a winged insect. On the other side, the first, third, and fifth panels each contain a floral spray; the others contain a boy holding a basket of fruit above his head, an actor drawing his sword, and a woman standing with a basket of fruit on her head. Round the base there is a border of reserved half-flowers with gilt centres. The footring is blue with gilt lines, and the handles are blue with gilt loops or scales.
