Document source description

The cup's interior is divided into nine arched panels, each containing a blossom with an inner row of red petals and an outer row of pink petals, a blue stem, and green foliage over a pale blue surface, all in plique-à-jour enamel. Bordering the upper edge is a row of opaque green circles and extending along its base are rows of red circles and pale green drops, also in plique-a-jour. In the center of the bowl is a rosette in opaque, turquoise filigree enamel.The foot, which is also in opaque filigree enamel, introduces several additional colors: the inner border is composed of deep blue lozenges with white dots, followed by a band of blossoms in white and blue separated by pale blue trefoil shapes raised over a stippled ground. Bordering the foot is a row of circles in medium blue.
