The splayed bowl stands on a round base. The front shows two coats of arms in medallions. To the left, is a Baroque shield, showing a white anchor with a yellow rope against the sable tincture. It is surmounted by a white ribbon, bearing the initials W.H.V.S. To the left, is a quarterly Baroque escutcheon. The first and the fourth quarters are per fess, showing a black eagle issuant in the yellow chief. The base has blue and white wavy fesses. The second and the third quarters are gules, charged with a crowned yellow lion double-tailed, with its red tongue thrust out, holding a sceptre in its front claws. The arms are surmounted by the inscriptions A.C.F.V.S.G.F.S., dated 1649 between the arms. The surface of the bowl is ornamented with engraved lines and sculpted garlands. The cover is decorated with engraved motifs and a cone finial. With handle. As Zsuzsa Pekár has pointed out, this dish was made for the 25th wedding anniversary of the Stubenberg family in 1649.
