The piece is well potted with a rectangular shape, having shaped and moulded sides, all on a low foot.
 
It is well hand painted in the recorded pattern called the: Mixed Flowers pattern, showing a selection of different English naturalistic flowers and leaves, including a pink rose, all within a gilded border, with an outer light green / turquoise color, finished with a hand gilded outer rim.
