An enamel and copper stem cup features a wide bowl and a flared pedestal base, covered in bright, mottled blue. Intricate gold leaf patterns of winding vines and small flowers adorn the exterior. Jagged gold borders line the top rim and bottom edge, shining against the reflective surface. Smooth and polished, the cup displays a continuous floral pattern across its body and foot, accented by jagged borders.
