The cup has deep sloping sides which curve inwards to the footring, and a loop handle. The circular saucer has deep curved sides and stands on a footring. The cup is decorated on the outside with a turquoise ground caillouté in thick gold, and with ten circular reserves framed by gold foliage, nine of which contain a dark pink rose and leaves, and one leaves only. There is a gold band round the rim and the footring. The handle has a zig-zag at the top, three stylized petalled flower heads, and four dots of graduated size down its back, and lines down its sides, all in gold. The inside of the saucer is decorated en suite with five reserves surrounded by ten. One of the five and one of the ten enclose a rose-bud on a stalk and the rest different pink roses.
