Globular with leaf-wrapped spout, ear-shaped handle made up of three leaves with a vertical rib and a kick up at their lower ends, more pronounced on the lowest, and circular slightly domed cover with a pierced knob. The sides are decorated with rosettes, prunus blossom and stylized foliage arranged roughly to form a festoon flanked by interlace motifs; on the cover there are two rosettes and two leaves.
