A faceted soft-paste porcelain cup features a scalloped, flared rim edged in a thin gold band. Its white surface displays raised floral branches beside painted gold motifs. A long-necked bird stands on a decorative platform with a small insect overhead, while another perches in a thin tree with fan-shaped leaves. A rounded handle joins the faceted body on the left. Vertical facets create a rhythmic profile as the vessel tapers slightly downward.
