Fabergé drew upon different historical styles and applied them to the same object type with a consistently high level of finesse. This holder for a tea glass incorporates a range of classicizing ornamental designs from the turn of the nineteenth century, such as the Greek key pattern on the horizontal bands and the intermittent palmettes.
