Source Description
The cylindrical beaker with flaring walls and a bulbous base is executed in red and blue plique-à-jour enamel supported by a twisted silver wire framework. The walls are divided into six panels with alternating arched and straight tops. Inside the arched panels a stem of orange, red, and yellow blossoms arises from a stepped mound. The straight-topped rectangular panels enclose pictorial motifs: a chinoiserie figure holding a gun or horn and a raised mallet; a stork wading in a pond with another bird flying overhead, and a peacock seen in profile. In the base in plique-à-jour enamel is a blossom with red petals and a band of violet circles.
