A circular white porcelain dish features a flowering camellia tree in vibrant enamels. A thick, textured blue trunk curves upward along the left side, bearing branches with pointed green and navy leaves. Red, orange, and pale pink flowers with white centers bloom among the foliage. This asymmetrical composition concentrates the floral design on the left, leaving the right half of the dish as open, lustrous white space.
