About this work

Resting on four tapering, curved, ribbed feet is a pointed oval, vaulted base decorated with two gadrooned edges, featuring a bottle holder. This is constructed from four flat, widening, ribbed feet that support an oval plateau with two large and two small openings, in which two large and two small bottles fit. Rising from the center of the plateau is the handle, consisting of four feet that thicken upwards and meet halfway up in a ribbed band, above which they split into a fan-shaped section decorated with pierced work, upon which an oval transverse handle is placed. On the edge of the base, the Clifford coat of arms with crest and supporters is engraved.
