The Sugar Urn by Charles Faris is a silver-colored, ornate container. The container has a wide, rounded body with a short neck and a flat base that is octagonal in shape. The base and body have decorative beading around the edges. The body of the container features an etched design consisting of a circle surrounded by a decorative border and flanked by two small bell-shaped motifs. A lid with a conical shape and beaded edge covers the top, featuring a decorative finial with a slender, tapered shape and a diamond-patterned surface. The background of the image is gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
