Both rim and foot mounted in silver. Decrated on the front with the full arms of the Apothecaries' Companoy with motto: 'OPIFER:QVE:PER: ORBEM:DICOR'; at the sides and on the neck, sea-shore scenes with buildings and sailing-ships. Two narrow borders of leafy scrollwork encircle the foot. Belowthe handle are the initials and date 'E.V/1650'. The mounts bear the London hallmark for 1844.
