At the centre of the plate is a circular medallion in underglaze cobalt blue depicting a dense design of swirling foliate tendrils within a narrow border of spiraling scrolls around the cavetto. The upper section of the cavetto and upturned rim are decorated with six equidistant red cartouches, each containing a gilded lotus flower and foliate scrolls and framed by a green enamel border, which alternate with turquoise lozenges and demi-flowers heads, all reserved against a red cash-pattern ground. The exterior of the rim is entirely painted in iron red and features gilded sprays of branched fruit and insects in flight, framed by a single gold line below the rim and above the foot. A border of blue half circles the foot, and the white recessed base is marked with an illegible inscription contained a square.
