A square white porcelain dish features bowed sides and a thin brown rim. Inside, cobalt blue underglaze depicts a dandelion rising from a rock formation. The plant has a tall stem with rounded leaves and fan-shaped flowers. A smaller blossom grows to the right, while thin lines suggest distant mountains. The smooth glaze provides a subtle sheen, highlighting the contrast between the delicate blue motifs and the luminous white ground.
