Silver-gilt, sloping cylindrical sides embossed and chased with strapwork and cherubs' heads
Silver-gilt; the slightly convex sloping cylindrical sides embossed and chased with a formal pattern of strapwork, cherubs' heads, fuit and scrolls on a matted ground. The low everted foot has two reeded borders with a matted border between. The cover is stepped and slightly domed; the outer border is embossed and chased with straps and fruit, round an inner border of gadroons on a matted ground containing an inverted bell-shaped finial. The handle is cast with a winged caryatid. The thumb-piece is modelled as a shell between two scrolls.
