A white porcelain lid features a circular body with a basketweave texture and a gilded rim. At the center, a sculpted pink rosebud emerges from a curved green stem flanked by two wide leaves, serving as a handle. Delicate painted motifs of insects and floral sprigs are scattered across the white surface. A small hole is pierced through the lid, and a thin gold band borders the circular outer edge.
