A cityscape of Hamburg is engraved around the goblet using copper wheel engraving. The figures on the foot represent the four seasons. Several entwined mermaids are also shown. The heads are formed by glass beads that have been attached to the surface of the stem. The glass is held in a gilded silver mount and has a lid on which Bacchus, the god of wine, is seated.
The view of Hamburg suggests that this display was possibly owned by the Hamburg city council or some other municipal organisation. Such Willkommen goblets would often have a place on the buffet during spectacular banquets.
