Enamelled on a black ground with two musicians, one playing a trumpet and the other a circular horn. The rim decorated with a gilt spearheads border. It has been suggested that this may have been designed by Cornelis Pronk. The Black ground was difficult to produce. The figures are unusual, being in Ottoman Costume and European musical instruments.

Each plate is painted in underglaze blue, green and yellow enamels, with a central figure in various poses, dancing on a tiled terrace. This decoration was created as a satirical attack on the financial world The first quarter of the 18th century. The inscriptions ridicule the shareholders mania of 1720 and the financial breakdown in Europe brought about by the disastrous monetary policy of John law and his Compagnie des Indes in France. In the Netherlands, too many people lost their money by speculating on shares or acties.
