A circular ceramic lid features a three-dimensional cluster of red berries and green leaves on a central ivory disc. Slender slats radiate from this center like spokes. A wide outer band repeats a geometric diamond pattern in red, black, and gold, each containing a stylized four-petaled flower. The glazed surface shows fine craquelure throughout, while the botanical decoration projects forward against the delicate openwork of the slats.
