Bands of egg-pattern at lip, red and yellow fillet, and then yellow dots bordered by incised lines. Below this is a vine frame enclosing a swan. The swan stands left, shaking its wings and preening its breast feathers. On the ground to the left is a plant; in the field, a yellow sash and a rosette. The reverse simply has eggs, then yellow dots at the lip, and then two ivy descenders framing a rosette with yellow center.
