The conical foot holds a horn-shaped body. The top rim and the foot are decorated with black and gilt lines, running all round. The body shows stylized, historicizing-oriental-Hungarian flowery boughs, painted in schwarzlot and con-toured with gold.
(See the donation register of Henrik Giergl, 1898, IM Archives KLT 482/1: talpas pohár azonos kivitelben ... arannyal konturált fekete zománcfestéssel, perzsa motivumokkal /a chalice with the same technique ... painted in black enamel, contoured with gold, with Persian motifs/)
The revival of schwarzlot technique in this style is rather rare. An analogy of the decoration can be found on a vase in the collection of the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts (Inv.No. 60.312).
