Boat-shaped dessert dish, soft-paste porcelain, good clear translucency and a lustrous glaze, collecting inside the foot rim, and with pin holes and minor flaws; oval form, lobed rim with extended crenellated handles; the exterior decorated with a line of deckel-edged gilding at the foot and lip, and painted with four stylised arrangements of flowers, interspersed with four smaller sprays. These four groups of flowers are repeated, two of them twice, inside the rim, with six smaller sprays of flowers below, and a central bouquet; the handles decorated with foliate scrolls and seeded panels of gilding.
