Soft-paste porcelain, moulded, and decorated overglaze with a rose marbré ground, painting in blue, two shades of green, yellow, dark pink, mauve, and purple enamels. The bowl has almost straight sides which curve inwards to the footring and a slightly domed cover with a knob in the form of a multi-petalled flower on a stalk with two leaves. There is a suspension hole in the footring. The bowl has two truncated heart-shaped reserves with a scalloped gold line round the edge containing floral sprays, and the cover has two kidney-shaped reserves similarly edged and painted with a smaller floral sray. There are gold bands round the rim, footring, and edge of the cover, and the knob, stalk, and leaves are gilded.
