Very thin walls and delicately carved foliage are typical features of Mughal Indian jades. The enameled handles and foot of this cup were fashioned in France, where the jade was likely brought by a traveler returning from India. Parisian jeweler Jules Wièse (1819–1890 stamped his identifying mark on the foot and one of the handles.
