The inside of the folding upper top has a mirror in the middle the sides conceal covered compartments. The outside is inlaid with lozenges. The basin forms a long, arched oval it has a bulging edge and is decorated with rocaille motifs. The initials FF (Fürst Fürstenberg) appear on the basin, as well as on the other pieces of the set.
