A white porcelain cup tapers from a wide rim to a narrow base, featuring a curved handle on the right accented with gold. Painted floral sprays in shades of pink, yellow, purple, and orange decorate the body. A scalloped gold border lines the top rim, while thin blue bands with gold diagonal marks encircle the vessel's top and bottom. Gold lines follow the handle's form, complementing the delicate flowers.
