The body is a cream porcelain urn, finely fluted from foot to shoulder, with a pair of arched scroll handles and a spray of applied porcelain roses gathered at the neck — each bloom and leaf modeled separately and set by hand. A gilt band circles the base of the urn, and below it a chromed collar leads to a second fluted porcelain element ringed with applied polychrome flowers in blue, green, and rose.
