The saucer has deep curved sides and stands on a footring. The exterior of the cup is decorated with two blue trees bearing dotted red leaves, bunches of orange berries, and gold tendrils. Inside the rim there are four dotted leaves and four paired bunches of berries, and tendrils, and in the middle, four blue leaves, a bunch of red berries and gold tendrils. There is a gold horizontal band below the design, and round the rim, and a vertical line down the back of the handle. The saucer has a central medallion filled with blue leaves, gold tendrils, and one large red berry surrounded by a blue and gold circle, from which extend two radiating blue trees with leaves and bunches of berries matching those on the cup. A gold band encircles the rim.
