The sides decorated with chased floral design and the handle surmounted with ball and ring flanked to each side with a smaller ring hosting a perching bird. Raised on four aesthetic style legs.

Minor scratches to silver surface. Glass insert is a bit loose resulting in a gap near the left bottom side probably from missing tab at top of foot to secure glass. Glass has possibly been cut down to fit insert.
