A boat-shaped basket with a panelled body, each panel edged with lines of pricked engraving. The shaped rim follows the panels and has a moulded edge and a band of engraved zigzag border. The angular swing handle, also decorated with pricked lines, pivots on ball-knop hinges. It stands on a short trumpet stem and a lobed oval foot that repeats the outline of the body and the wriggle-work border. On the front, a shaped cartouche contains the script initials JJW.
