A domed porcelain lid features a scalloped edge and a central fluted knob. Against a white glazed surface, red-orange overglaze flowers bloom among scrolling vines and pointed green leaves. A small orange ring tops the knob, echoing the thin line that traces the lid's wavy perimeter. Delicate floral motifs in red, green, and yellow create a symmetrical pattern across the low, lobed profile of the ceramic piece.
