A cylindrical white porcelain jar features straight sides and a domed lid topped with a bird-shaped knob. A vibrant bouquet centers the body, featuring a large pink rose surrounded by yellow, purple, and blue flowers with orange sprigs trailing left. Gold scalloped bands trim the base and top rim. A dark metal rim separates the body from the lid, which is adorned with smaller scattered floral clusters.
