The vase sits on a richly decorated ormolu base of square form with canted angles. The porcelain body of the vase is of ovoid form, coloured with a turquoise ground. To the front of the vase is a painted scene of two lovers and winged cherubs, framed by a richly gilt rocaille motif. The reverse is painted with a landscape scene of a lake. The vase is mounted with twin ormolu handles to either side, each modeled as a classical female mask. A similarly decorated cover, with gilt detailing on a turquoise ground, sits atop the vase, surmounted with a pine cone finial in ormolu, and with maker's mark to the underside.
