A silver caster, a vessel with eight flat facets around its entire form, stands on a stepped, octagonal base. The lower body is rounded and wide, tapering upward into a narrower neck that flares out at the top rim. The top remains open, revealing a hollow interior. The metallic surface shows reflective highlights and patches of dark tarnish, especially around the middle and lower sections.
