The domed rim of the round foot is decorated with Neo-Renaissance acanthus leaves and flowers. The conical, rising centre of the foot shows pierced acanthus leaves, enclosing four oval medallions of a wreathed female portrait. The stem has a bun-shaped, pierced node the cup is splaying, slim and horn-shaped. The whole surface is decorated with acanthus leaves and bunches of fruits against a punched base, enriched with two oval cartouches, which depict a female head with meander headdress and a crowned and bearded male portrait, both shown in profile. The top rim is plain. The rim of the detachable cover is lined with string of pearls and surmounted by a jointed, domed cover that is ornamented in a similar way. There is a figure in a feathered hat standing at the top in the centre, holding a plate in his hand.
