The Cup by an unknown artist shows a large, dark-colored, wide-mouthed vessel with a rounded body sitting on a short stem. The vessel appears to be made of stone or marble, exhibiting a mottled gray color with darker spots. It sits atop a white decorative base that has a wide, flat bottom with a wavy edge featuring holes and cutouts. The base narrows as it rises, with a section of intricate carvings above a fluted section and below a ruffled edge. The background of the image is gray, transitioning from light to dark.
