A white porcelain vessel features a rounded body and a short, ribbed neck. Its surface is carved with vertical ridges that terminate in scalloped shapes at the shoulder. A bouquet of orange-red and green flowers, tied with a blue ribbon, is painted centrally. Small yellow butterflies and blue floral sprays flank the main design. Translucent white glaze covers the exterior, emphasizing the vertical, lobed texture from rim to base.
