The pot is decorated with upper and lower embossed frieze bands enclosing an "egypto-japanese" motif of reeds, florals and butterfly.

Tricolor Gilding is in pristine condition with no rubbing or losses.
Background: The decoration is in two tones of gold and silver and appears to be executed by very fine tube-lining.
A finely potted and highly decorative piece which displays beautifully.
