Barrel with chinoiserie scenes, on the pedestal with figures of fauns and nymphs.
The five hooped keg is supported by three voluted legs, with half-naked figures emerging from them. The two female figures are dressed in yellow and red, while faun wears a blue veil. The top side of the yellow keg with golden hoops is painted in purple and red, with miniature harbour scenes in oval fields. The cover plates are decorated with golden arabesques surmounted by chinoiserie genres of many figures, in the manner of Horoldt. The colors are blue, red and black. A blue sword mark, painted under glaze, appears on the base.
