    "description": "The three-handled cup is worked in repousée with two rows of lobes enclosing either Usolsk-type blossoms or swans afloat flanked by tendrils of vegetation. Both the upper border and the handles are decorated with blossoms in pastel colors over a creamy white enamel. Braided wire outlines the lobes and the edges of the loving cup. Below are loose scrolls of filigree against a violet ground.",
