White ceramic beaker with a rounded body, slightly flared at the top and a wavy edge at the bottom. A circular portrait of a woman with blonde hair on a blue background with clouds at the center. The woman wears a headpiece and a low-cut dress. The beaker features a pattern of gold, green, blue and red dots around the woman's image. Two horizontal bands of green, blue and red designs encircle the beaker above and below the portrait. A band of blue and red motifs encircles the beaker near the bottom. The background of the image is gray. The Marriage Beaker, by William Moorcroft.
