This silver wine cup with a bamboo form handle and slightly splayed foot is decorated with multiple shield-cartouches and a key fret pattern, which borders the rim. The shield cartouches include repoussé flowering prunus trees and birds, which perch on the branches. The cartouches feature ring-matting in the background.
