Buff earthenware, the front tin-glazed and painted in blue, green, deep yellow, and manganese purple; the reverse covered with pale manganse-purple tin-glaze. Circular with curved sides, with slightly everted rim, standing on a footring, pierced by a hole. The front is decorated with a central medallion containing three tulips, two carnations, and buds on leafy stems springing from a low mound, surrounded by a frame of four concentric circles: two narrow blue between two yellow. Beyond this is a boder of parti-coloured yellow and green leaves placed end to tip to form a zig-zag with blue, or yellow and orange fruits in the spaces. Round the edge there is a yellow band and blue dashes.
