The Walters Art Museum
Baltimore, United States

The plique-à-jour and champlevé enameled goblet is predominantly in mauve, blue, pink, red and white. On the plique-à-jour bowl, abstract foliate motifs have been incorporated into a white ground whereas on the base the same colors occur, but only in champlevé enamel. Around the foot of the stem there is a circle of pearls over silver gilding. The stem consists of a cylindrical shaft with three bulbous protrusions of varying size and a band of six leaflets.

On the bottom of the foot there is an inner circle of textured silver gilding centered on a blue cabochon stone and an outer band of opaque blue, en plein enamel.
