A square earthenware plate with scalloped corners features a cream glaze marked by a fine network of crackling. A slender black line traces the outer rim. Off-center to the left, four green wheat stalks rise from the base, their heights descending toward the middle. Each stalk consists of tapering green blades along a vertical stem. This minimalist composition highlights the aged texture of the glaze across the expansive, open central well.
