The bulging, slightly narrowing cup stands on four short feet at the line of the foot rim. Its curved handle joins the body with stylized leaves. The saucer is flat, with a lobed rim. Both the cup and the saucer are decorated with a chain-like geometric pattern, interrupted by leaves. The motifs are gilt, enriched with blue, high-enamelled chains. There is a stylised bunch of flowers on the side of the cup, opposite the handle, flanked by two enamelled puncture ribbons. The rim of the saucer is lined with a triple, enamel puncture ribbon.
