Bacchus holds a goblet of grapes in his hand. The oval is all surrounded by a frame of wriggle work and prick dot designs. The base is engraved with prick dot borders and a central floral sprig. The interior displays exceptional gilding and a cast grille decorated with a simulated filigree heart, unusually centred with a Rococo raying shell. The filigree work is surrounded by a beaded frame.
