The square tablecloth has a woven pattern of a bowl packed with fruit, at the middle of the sides. There are four plates with crayfish, enriched with a vine leaf wreath, placed in a square of vine tendrils in the centre of the tablecloth. The red border is decorated with a tray with three glasses, among Art Nouveau flower stems, and, on three sides, a plate with a boar- head in the middle. On the fourth side, the border shows an inscription „Jó étvágyat” (Good appetite).
