The caster is vase-shaped with a spreading foot, a pierced domed top, and a small finial of the same shape.  The underside of the foot has a round central hole to admit the pepper or sugar. There are bands of uncoloured gadrooning round the edge of the foot, the shoulder, and a short distance below the projecting edge of the domed top (which is not removable).  The underside and the exterior above and below the shoulder have a turquoise ground. The area below the shoulder is decorated with pink roses and other flowers and foliage on a wavy stem. The area above the shoulder has upward pointing lappet-like outlines filled by a yellow and pink half-flower and three leaves. Between the points there is a pink and blue plant motif. Above the top band of gadrooning there is a narrow red border of circles enclosing dots between horizontal bands.  The projection below the cover is turquoise with pink and green half-flowers alternating with yellow half leaves.  Seven of the holes in the top are outlined in pink and black, and the finial is turquoise."}],"identifier":[{"accession_number":"C.181-1932","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"C.181-1932"},{"priref":"197694","type":"priref","value":"197694"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/197694","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/197694"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"legal":{"credit_line":"Given by Mrs W.D.
