A circular porcelain lid features a vibrant yellow glazed surface. At the center, a sculptural white rose with pink-flecked petals sits beside a single green leaf with dark brown veins. Flanking the rose, two leaf-shaped white panels with thin brown borders contain delicate blue blossoms on the left and clusters of purple berries on the right. A small vent hole pierces the yellow surface near the central leaf.
