Source Description
With the exception of its base, the entire vodka cup has been executed in plique-à-jour enamel. The patterns include four plants with six-petaled blossoms in blue and white, which alternate with those with three white petals. The foliage is in red, violet, green, and blue translucent enamel. This floral decoration is outlined with very fine filigree wire and is raised over a stippled silver gilding ground.
