A cylindrical porcelain vessel stands on three gold spherical feet. The exterior body is encased in an olive green and gold scale-like pattern with tiny beads. A large, diamond-shaped reserve reveals a smooth white surface, featuring a raised gold branch with delicate leaves and three clusters of five-petaled flowers. The interior is a matching white. This design elegantly balances a rigid geometric texture with fluid, organic floral motifs.
