The sides are decorated with delicate Dresden floral sprays, while the main reserves depict hand-painted Watteau-style gallant scenes after 18th-century Augustus Rex designs, showing courting couples in idyllic landscapes.

The bases bear the blue crowned D mark of Helena Wolfsohn, a well-documented Dresden porcelain decorator active in the mid-to-late 19th century, known for high-quality work in the Meissen tradition. This piece has an attribution mark,
