The lower part of the body is decorated with drapery, tassels, and chased shells, repeated on the lid; the elongated hollow upper section with a leaf border. The straight projecting S-shaped wooden handle is set in straight silver cuffs. The lower part of the narrowed, S-shaped spout has the shape of a flower calyx with facets.
