With rounded sides, the interior is delicately incised with a ribboned lotus bouquet surrounded by a composite floral meander issuing thirteen blooms. The decoration on the cavetto is repeated around the exterior but with fourteen blooms. Both sides have borders of classic scroll beneath the rim. A keyfret band circles the wedge-shaped foot. The dish is covered with an unctuous white glaze which stops at the foot rim.
