A white ceramic cylindrical vessel features black-ink detailing and a curved handle. In the center, a portrait bust of the King of Prussia in armor and a fur-lined cloak dominates the scene, facing our left while looking forward and pointing. Above, a winged child flies holding a wreath. Below the portrait, a scroll bears the inscription "1757 KING of PRUSSIA." A partial illustration appears on the far left.
