The scene is framed in gold with impasto-painted leaf motifs on a matt gold background, gold rim on the upper edge, the back of the cup at the top with ribbons in gold and brown, a frieze with flowers and vines in green, red and yellow, gold ribbons with impasto motifs and a golden arched frieze and gold rim at the lower edge. Angular gold-painted handle in J-shape with leaf and console end. Saucer with high, raised flag and smooth mirror, background in blue, ample gold decoration with impasto painted elements, 3 square medallions, as well as three reserves with en grisaille medallions, flower and leaf motifs.
