The foot has a chip and some loss, shown in two of the photos,and there is a chip on the underside rim of the cover...

The round funnel bowl, which has a beaded base, is engraved with two rabbits carrying a dog in a sedan chair. The reverse side of the bowl says, in Old German, "Man Mus Einen Seinen Gute & Thun", which roughly translates as "You have to do good things for your enemies."
