There is a man in the boat and a lake and mountains are seen in the distance. The vase itself has a half-hearted vine drifting out of the top. Next to it on the right is a lop-sided pot with a leaf motif and laying on its side is a third vase, half buried in foliage. The side opposite the handle features a circular cartouche sectioned and filled with stylized geometric and floral patterns.
