The body is decorated with raised relief dragons among clouds, symbolizing power and prosperity. The lid features an openwork design with additional dragon motifs and is topped with a foo dog finial, a guardian figure in Chinese culture. The base bears a mark in Chinese characters, suggesting an association with the Ming Dynasty style, though age and authenticity should be evaluated further.
