Small silver pitcher with thin, delicate, curved handle rising well above the mouth of the vessel. At the join of the handle at the mouth are palmettes, one on the interior and another on the exterior, below rotellae. The handle is affixed to the mouth by two rivets. At the base of the handle, at the join to the body, is an applique of a lion's head. On the underside of the foot is an incised rosette.
