The slightly irregular, round plate gradually deepens. It is painted with three rows of alternating blue and white squares on the rim and with a vertical peacock in the middle. The crest of the peacock reaches out to the border; its opened tail feathers are only partially revealed. There is a horizontal flower on the left. The background is enriched with swirling ovals and tiny circles in silver lustre. The contours are cobalt blue, the inner lines are drawn with ruby lustre. The reverse is covered with purple metallic lustre. The foot rim has two holes for mounting the plate on the wall.
