The pot has a globular body with a crabstock handle and spout, and a very slightly concical cover (A) with an upturned flower knob, and a small round air vent. One side is decorated with a seated shepherdess and a standing shepherd, both holding crooks, in a landscape with pink clouds overhead. On the other side there is a a house with a fence in front of it beside a river with a church on the opposite bank, and pink clouds overhead. The cover is decorated with two small towers with a cross above each, linked by walls, with a tree and bushes in the background and pink and greyish-blue clouds overhead. The flower has a yellow centre and a brownish-red edge. The handle and spout are decorated with green spots.
