The flat cover is surmounted by a central loop handle and applied with three equidistant, open-work, L-shaped 'dragon' plaques. The sides are adorned with a U-shaped handle on either side and the vessel is supported on three cabriole feet.

Formerly in a Private European collection, which was amassed in the early 1990s.
