On the saucer, there is a cup-shaped body with a slightly swinging rim, which is displayed and decorated with a scalloped foot. On the side, there is a pointed, tapering ear handle. On the wall and in the mirror, on a cobalt blue, partially white background, there are arabesque tendrils made of relief gold with melted, colored, jewel-like enamel flowers and leaves in turquoise blue, Bordeaux red, and fir green, so-called jewel porcelain. On the display side, there is a delicate, vine-drawn reserve with an arrangement of blooming hedge roses in white heightening, so-called soft painting. There is a surrounding pearl frieze. The form is attributed to Julius Wilhelm Mantel. Painter's marks and scepter and painter's mark. Cup height: 7 cm. The relief-like application of the various colored enamel pearls gives the impression of precious gemstones. See Wittwer, Keramos 221, p. 84ff; Wadsworth Atheneum collection.
