The baluster-shaped body carved in shallow relief with floral and foliate motifs under a sea-green celadon glaze, mounted with a foliate and gadrooned collar, flanked by square-section handles chased with mille-raies panels and swagged with berry husks, with foliate finials, terminating in foliate zoomorphic masks, on a reeded and foliate base, on a spreading foliate socle encircled with a laurel wreath, on a square base

The large canine standing with an alert expression, its ears pricked up and its mouth open to reveal pointed teeth and curving tongue, its fur picked out in brown and black, one tail wrapped around its back right leg
