This goblet, signed by Mohn, is decorated on two sides. A portrait of a young girl painted in a black and white technique known as "en grisaille" appears on one face, with a notation in German, translated as "dedicated to my beloved sister Clara, August 12, 1817". A temple and landscape appear on the reverse with another German inscription translated as "The calm of the countryside, love and friendship may crown you together with flowers of your friends." The goblet has been repaired with a metal replacement for the foot.
