The cavetto is moulded with a double row of facets centre and border asymmetrically decorated with branches of flowering chrysanthemum and four fans outlined like the chrysanthemums in red; the violet background water outlined in gold and the green leaves with veins precisely delineated in black. The back is undecorated but has a single ring of facets. Five tiny spur marks.
