The poster, when divided in half horizontally is a mirror image pattern with the words 'Spitzen der Wiener Werkstatte' in the center. At the top and bottom are left and right boxes of repeating black diamonds in straight lines. Dividing these two boxes is an image of three blooms with stems and branching leaves in the foreground and two blooms at the top corners, with a cracked pattern in the background, reminenscent of stained glass. This image is mirrored in reverse at the bottom of the poster. Solid triangle borders cover the top and bottom of the poster and it is signed at the bottom, D. Peche.
