The rim is notched. The rustic handle rises up from the rim and curves upwards and then outwards in a single loop until it meets the most bulbous part of the body. Sprays of flowers and foliage in relief sprout from the junctions of the legs and handle with the body. The ground is white with under the spout a gilt, squat, shield-shaped outline enclosing a floral spray comprising a yellow rose, two blue flowers and three pink, with foliage.
