Whatever the form, examples of Wedgwood's "Trophies" pattern always exhibit a dense encrustation of intricate relief work that, while opulent, remains elegantly playful.
Around the "Bute" shape cup and the border of the saucer, a garland--densely laden with fruit--hangs in swags from be-ribboned ram's head terminals. The swags cradle tiny trophy groups alternating with delicate oval medallions. Flying ribbons frame these motifs from above. Decorative borders--waves and stylized flowers--define the top and bottom of the cup frieze and the lower edge of the saucer border.
The delicate combination of light blue and white enhances the elegant rococo impression.
