Of octogonal form, painted in the famille rose palette, the wide rim moulded in eight planes sloping inwards, with angles clearly showing where they radiate towards the points on the rim. Decorated with eight sepia roundels, each gilded with one of two alternating flowers and set within an irregular border of sepia scrollwork, heightened with thick icy-pink scrolls. The eight roundels are separated by heavily-enameled formal flowers in blue. Lotus-petals with sepia whorls and blue enamel clouds surround the central motif of a quatrefoil lotus in sepia with gilt decoration.
