The white ground is further decorated with polychrome floral sprays. It is topped with a domed lid featuring a corresponding cobalt and gold border and a pointed gilt finial.

The design features large stylized floral medallions and scrolling foliate borders. The shoulder and the flattened domed lid are decorated with scalloped panels containing floral motifs. The lid is finished with a tiered circular finial. A white adhesive label is present on the body of the ovoid jar, and a white label with a barcode is also visible.
