At the center of the composition, a flying crane holding a branch converses with a winged red dragon, a fantastical figure evoking the oriental imagination. The whole is enriched with foliage, stylized flowers, and polychrome insects. The whole is presented in a vibrant palette of vermillion red, cobalt blue, celadon green, and golden yellow, typical of European interpretations of the Kakiemon style.

The dish bears the famous Meissen crossed swords mark on the back, in underglaze blue, indicating a first-class quality. Numbered and equipped with its original hanging system, it can be displayed on a wall or integrated into a collector's display case.
