An oval enamel box features a shallow base and a lid showcasing a central multi-lobed panel of pink and yellow flowers. Surrounding this center are small blue and red blossoms, with scrolling blue flowers and green leaves encircling the rim. Around the base, repeated oval medallions with floral bouquets are separated by blue vertical designs and red dots. Bold gold-colored bands line the top and bottom edges of the vessel.
