A cream earthenware plate takes a square shape with tiered, notched corners. The flat surface dips into a circular well. Four green wheat stalks sprout upward from the lower left, their heights tapering toward the center. A thin, dark line traces the notched rim, defining its geometric silhouette. These vertical botanical motifs provide a rhythmic contrast against the uniform cream glaze, while the remainder of the surface stays smooth and unadorned.
