A glossy porcelain cover features a tiered design in white and rich brown. At the summit, a small, pointed finial transitions from a white tip to a brown base. Below, a larger, bulbous section flares at its white bottom edge, coated in a reflective brown glaze. A plain white cylindrical plug extends downward from the center. The smooth surface reflects light, highlighting the simple, stacked geometry of the vessel's lid.
