The plate is decorated in the famille rose palette. The well is painted with two cockerels among flowering peonies beside a pierced rock in underglaze blue. The finely detailed plumage, highlighted in yellow, brown and black enamels, contrasts with the soft pink peonies and green foliage. The broad rim is covered with a turquoise geometric diaper ground, interrupted by four lobed reserves outlined in underglaze blue and decorated with peonies, chrysanthemums and flower buds. The rim is finished with a brown enamel line.
