A cylindrical white porcelain cup features sepia enamel and gold leaf decoration. A thick gold band encircles the rim, above a border of alternating reddish-brown shells and gold sprigs. A larger shell sits in the center of the body, flanked by gold foliage. Thin gold bands wrap around the vessel beneath the upper border and at the base. Fine lines within the shells provide texture against the smooth white porcelain.
