About this work

The pinched foot rests on a base with a slightly convex wall. The flattened globular body features a large round opening at the top into which the separate lid fits. The lower part of the S-shaped curved spout is decorated with large knops. The upper silver fitting of the C-shaped curved palissander wood handle is decorated with a leaf scroll. Cable borders run around the base and around the opening. The slightly arched lid has a twisted mushroom-shaped knob of walnut wood, crowned by a small silver cap.
