Fiziksel açıklama
In the centre of the dish a large bird with raised wings and a long beak stands on a lotus leaf among spread-out lotus leaves and flaming veined leaves. The well is plain. A reserve-painted band of continuous scrolls and central lappets covers the flange. On the outer well two opposite tufts of grass spread out their longer blades towards two large bees which act as fillers. Four small waves mark the start of the base ring. Four leafy S-stems and their central florets decorate the outer flange with the usual crossed leaves between them. The dish has an orange-peel glaze and is warped.
