ROYAL PORTRAITS CRACK
There is a crack through the rim of the cover, and the top of the finial and one fleuron from the cover are missing. The specific meaning of the third panel, which combines images from emblem books, remains obscure, although the juxtaposition of the devices suggests an amatory significance: on the right, Cupid is standing in a garden holding his bow and a shield emblazoned with three hearts from clouds in the upper left, a hand of God extends, pouring water from a pitcher to irrigate a plant growing from a two-handled pot on the right, an eagle is balanced on a globe.
In the panel to the right, Apollo is depicted in pursuit of Daphne. In one panel, flowering branches surround a medallion with a half-length female portrait carved to imitate a miniature suspended from a chain. The sloping surface of the cover is divided by floriated ribs into three panels in which the ornamentation is carved over a background surface, imitating ashlar masonry. The fitted cover of the vessel forms a shallow dome which is surmounted by a crown encircling a central finial.
The curving border of the cup beneath the portrait panels is ornamented with military trophies, including cannons, flags, pikes and swords. She wears the Order of Saint Catherine the Great Martyr over her heart and a sash tied in a bow at her left, from which the badge of that order is suspended.

The third panel depicts Elizabeth wearing a dress with a very full skirt and a tight bodice that reveals her shoulders. He is decorated with the Order of Saint Andrew and a sash with the badge of that order. In the panel to her right, Peter III stands in three-quarter view with his right arm extended to grasp a baton. She gestures with both hands toward a scepter and orb resting on the edge of a table in the lower-right foreground. She wears a crown, an elaborate gown, a sash, and a medallion, perhaps the star of the Order of Saint Catherine the Great Martyr. In the Walters' "pokal" Catherine is seated in three-quarter view, with her head turned to her right. On a closely related cup bearing the monogram of the master AD, the portraits are identified as Catherine the Great, the Empress Elizabeth and Peter III. Narrow carved ribs divide the surface of the cup into three vertical panels, each containing a three-quarter length portrait beneath a tasseled drapery. Each segment features a double-headed imperial eagle surrounded by rococo floral ornamentation carved in bas-relief. The base is surrounded by a decorated border and divided into three equal segments by ribs. Serving as the cup's stem, the soldier stands on a grooved and carved cylindrical socle, which rises from the center of the base.
The slightly tapered cup is supported on a foliate-covered knob which rests on the head and spear of a soldier in fanciful armor who also holds a shield.
