The shallow rounded sides have a lipped rim and are resting on a very low, tapered foot. The interior has a central medallion showing an ornate basket filled with various flowers encircled by a ring of ruyi-shaped scrolls and a frieze of eight alternating lotus petal, leaf and pomegranate shaped panels enclosing a variety of flowering sprays including lotus, chrysanthemum, lily, prunus, poppy, peony and dianthus, reserved against a seeded turquoise ground strewn with flowerheads. The rim is encircled by a cell-diaper band with eight fruit vignettes. The rim on the underside has a border of alternating brocade and florette diaper reserved with four Emblems interspersed with ruyi-heads. The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
