A white porcelain side-dish with a square shape and slightly bowed sides features a thin, reddish-brown rim. At the center, blue underglaze depicts a tall plant with serrated leaves and two fan-shaped flowers rising from rounded rocks. Sparse, jagged lines suggest mountains in the background. The smooth glaze creates a subtle sheen across the interior, highlighting the contrast between the white ground and the deep blue of the floral design.
