The plate with a broad, gently flaring rim, is decorated in the famille rose palette. The well is painted with a pheasant perched on a pierced overglaze blue rock, surrounded by flowering peonies and a butterfly in flight. The cavetto is bordered by a delicate polychrome floral band enclosed by double black lines. The broad rim, set against a pink geometric diaper ground, is interrupted by four large lobed reserves outlined in overglaze blue, each enclosing sprays of peonies and chrysanthemums. The outer border is decorated with a turquoise geometric band, and the rim is finished with a brown enamel line.
