A rectangular white porcelain box features a domed lid and silver-gilt mounts. Molded, shell-like curves swirl across the surface, framing painted floral bouquets in pink, yellow, and purple. A textured, gold-colored rim joins the lid and base. On our left, a bouquet of multicolored flowers fills a side panel. The box has rounded corners and stands on a flat base, with delicate floral patterns trailing across the white-glazed surface.
