Covered lidded sugar pot with polychrome decoration of lakeside landscapes on an architectural background, animated by fishermen represented in cartouches formed by interlaced plant-tipped gold fillets. The rims are adorned with gold fillets enriched with three painted ladybugs on the lid rim and on the upper body border. The grip of the lid is in the shape of an acorn with a base set on foliage in relief. The decorations are most probably borrowed from engravings by Sébastien LE CLERC.
