The lower part of the pot has a border of puce pink anthemion motifs with green leaves between them, above which is a broad band of scrolling foliage bearing puce-pink, mauve, and yellow stylized flowers, and green trefoil leaves. Above this is a narrow blue horizontal band and a row of blue dots on the edge of the shoulder, which is decorated with green pointed serrated leaves radiating from the mouth, enclosed by a blue zig-zag line and blue bell flowers in the spaces. The footring is blue. The moulding on the spout is painted in green and mauve, and it has a mauve line round its tip and a mauve-edged rococo 'frill' around its junction with the body. The handle has mauve leaf terminals and lines down its sides.  The cover has a blue edge, a border of scrolling green foliage with yellow and puce-pink flowers, and a green and puce-pink knob rising from pointed leaves
