Tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue and yellow
Buff earthenware, press-moulded, tin-glazed yellowish-white and painted in blue and a little yellow. Rectangular with a rectangular depression in the top for the salt, and four feet with leaves in relief on the corners above them. The two short sides are moulded in relief with an oval shield, and the two long sides with a winged cherub's head with a semi-circular projection below. The decoration is blue except for the cherub's wings. The depression for the salt is painted with a spray of foliage surrounded by two lines and a row of dots. The outer edge of the top is decorated with pairs of slanting lines alternating with a thicker pointed line (perhaps in imitation of gadrooning). The shields are painted with the arms of the City of London, and the cherub's heads are outlined in blue with yellow wings. The foliage on the corners is outlined in blue. On the base there is a large blue X .
