Dish of fritware, painted in cobalt blue and outlined in black, under a clear glaze. Eight small roundels with rosettes decorate the flange and are separated by either a swastika panel or a scroll with a central floret. The well is plain. An eight-bracket frame surrounds the central design of a bird perched on rocks looking up towards a cloud. Two long blades of grass rise from one rock in a half-circle. The upper blade has been painted in parts over some leafy flowers and reaches up into the cloud.
