Supported on a base with an irregular six-petaled outline. The footplate smoothly transitions into an extended collar, connected to a shaft of baluster form and a type of collar-like decoration. All these elements, organically intertwined, are fully covered in spiral, rococo-style decoration featuring motifs of leaf clusters and elongated plant stems with volute-like curling ends. The constrictions at the junctions between the shaft and the lower and upper collars are emphasized by the motif of rooster combs. On the pedestal of the foot, there are silversmith’s marks, including the maker's name, the city name "Kalisch," the silver assay mark in grains "11," and the letter "B" inside an oval.
