It is finished with a heavy marigold iridescent coating, characteristic of carnival glass, which creates multi-colored metallic highlights. The lid is molded in the shape of a nesting hen with distinct feather detailing on the body, wings, and tail. The base is an oval bowl with a vertically ribbed exterior and a wide, scalloped flange featuring a molded twisted-rope border. The interior bottom of the base is molded with a basketweave texture.
