Around the tumbler are three elaborate rococo cartouches of scrolls and leaves, each with a portrait bust and each surmounted by the Imperial crown, all in repoussé.

The cover is also decorated in repoussé with rococo motifs and three Imperial crowns. The knop for the cover is the double headed Imperial eagle.
