A shallow porcelain dish with a wide, flared rim displays vibrant orange, red, and blue floral motifs across a white ground. A central medallion, ringed by a thin red band, depicts a bird among delicate stems. The surrounding rim features scrolling green foliage and large, rosette-shaped orange blossoms. Smaller red buds and blue leaves weave energetically across the surface. The vessel rests on a short, circular base, accentuating its broad, low profile.
