The base of the dish features a large butterfly with yellow, turquoise, and blue wings, highlighted with black dots. It is surrounded by bouquets of roses, pansies, and orange flowers, as well as insects (dragonflies and butterflies) scattered throughout the design. Gray-blue arabesques in the background and a thin orange border accentuate the inner rim.

The shape is particularly elaborate: a scalloped rim highlighted with a cobalt blue border in small strokes, a gadrooned body, and four handles in the shape of raised scallop shells, glazed in orange-yellow. The whole rests on a flared, faceted foot decorated with an undulating orange frieze, blue dots, and green foliage.

In good condition with signs of wear and age.
