The flat back rises to a rococo scroll-moulded cresting which has been contemporaneously broken and glazed over, and is pierced with two holes for suspension. Decorated underglaze in blue with a scale ground, reserved with gilt-edged cartouches painted in polychrome enamels with pendant flower swags.
