The cup has deep sloping sides curving inwards to the footing, and a ring handle. The circular saucer has shallow curved sides, standing on a footring. The exterior of the cup has a turquoise ground overalid by vertical gold stems with alternately red and white jewels. Above there is a horizontal border of stylized flower heads and leaves with white or red jewels on them. This is repeated on the white interior of the cup.
