The vase is of bell form, and the body is decorated all over with a simple yet intense cobalt blue ground. Twin ormolu handles of scrolling acanthus leaf form are mounted to each side. The vase features a narrowed, outflared neck with gilt bands, surmounted by an ormolu mount with beading. The vase is set upon a raised, circular ormolu base vase with four scrolled leaf acanthus leaf feet.
