Description
The small, conically slightly widening beaker without a stepped foot ring shows a smooth outer wall, which is decorated with three engraved, winged angel heads. These are connected to each other by elongated fruit festoons, creating an all-round decoration.
The lip of the cup is slightly curved and is separated from the angel decoration by two engraved lines. Made from silver, the drinking vessel is gold-plated inside and out and the base is soldered in.
