Buff earthenware tin-glazed white except for the base, and painted in blue. Rectangular with canted corners, very slightly waisted straight sides, and flat top with a central short cylindrical neck to take a cover, now missing. The two long sides are decorated with a star-shaped panel enclosing a circular floral motif, reserved in a blue ground covered with stylized floral and vegetal ornament. The two short sides have a four-sided shaped panel containing a plant reserved in a similar ground. Four lappet-shaped motifs and the areas between them on the top have similar floral and vegetal ornament

The shape of this canister is unusual, and it has been suggested that it might be Dutch rather than English. It is now attributed probably to Brislington on the basis of a fragment found there, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
