The octagonal goblet is finely potted with deep flaring faceted sides rising to a slightly everted rim, supported on a waisted stem and splayed foot. The exterior is painted in underglaze cobalt blue with vertical panels divided by leafy borders, enclosing a small landscape scene with distant mountains, rockwork and clouds, alternating with flowering plants. The rim is encircled by a narrow foliate band, while the stem is decorated with two bands of scrolling motifs above a petal border around the foot. The interior is left largely undecorated, the inner rim painted with a narrow blue border.
