The domed lid with a finial in the form of an open flower. Fruit wood handle with thumb-piece. One side with a vacant shaped cartouche and the other side with contemporary engraved script initials.

The stand/tray of matching design and decoration. Standing on four tapering and reeded legs. The stand/tray is engraved with the same cartouche and initials as the pot.
