A circular white porcelain cover features scattered enamel floral clusters and molded swirling waves. Four groupings of orange chrysanthemums with green and blue leaves surround a central, raised rectangular handle decorated with an orange flower. Small orange and green birds fly between the floral motifs. The vibrant decorations contrast with the subtle, low-relief wave patterns that ripple across the surface, creating a balanced composition on the white ground.
