The cylindrical body rises into a narrow neck with flared rim and rests on a short foot with ring base. One side shows a cobalt blue Baroque-style decoration with figures; the front bears a crowned coat of arms with the trigram of Saint Bernardino. Below, a cartouche encloses a pharmaceutical inscription, ending in a pendant with the Marian monogram, indicating the piece was made for a Jesuit pharmacy.
