The slightly concave underside is glazed except for the outer edge, and has a central ventilation hole filled with a brown substance. The roughly quatrefoil base has a sloping gadrooned edge. In the centre there is a tree trunk with two main branches and several smaller ones bearing polychrome applied flowers and leaves forming bocage. Between the two main branches at the top there is an oval hole to take a candle branch. At the back a branch curves downward from the trunk to the base to form a handle, which has a horizontal pansy on the top to serve as a thumbpiece. On a ledge at the front of the trunk there is a nest containing three yellow chicks. The parent buntings perch on top of the two main branches, looking down protectively towards the nest. They have pale yellow and grey plumage and pink legs and beaks. On the viewer's left of the base there is a recumbent black and white dog with a dark puce collar, which looks up into the tree. The gadrooned edge is picked out in pink and dark puce.
