The intricately chased coat of arms of Amsterdam is prominently displayed on the front – recognizable by the three iconic St. Andrew's crosses and the flanking lions beneath a magnificent crown.

The sides are adorned with two solid lion-head handles and movable rings, while the back depicts a dynamic scene of a mounted postilion (a horseman with a horn). The cylindrical body is further embellished with floral tendrils and acanthus leaves in relief, giving the piece a high-quality, antique feel. See less
