The dish is made from porcelain, moulded and painted underglaze in blue, with polychrome enamels and gilt. Is it dodecanal, with curved sides, standing on a footring. In the middle there are two narrow blue concentric circles, into which project leaves and flowers springing from opposing sides of the dish. Below the rim there is a narrow border of alternatively blue and white panels, each decorated with two flowers on a steam of paired leaves in gold on the blue panels and green, iron red and gold on the white.
The back has two blue concentric circles inside the footring. The sides are decorated with four blue quatrefoils containing a plant, linked by flowering sprays. Round the footring there is a row of O X O repeated and a scroll border in red between concentric blue circles. There are three spur marks in the middle.
