The front has a large lions head motif spigot with a family crest decorated with two swans and birds. Topped with a dome shaped cap having louvers to view inside and a large finial on top. There is an access door on the side. Impressive piece that is very heavy. From an estate in Santa Barbara, CA. French legalese patent info stamped on dome.
