The body is slightly translucent and very white. The body is very slightly fluted and the rim has uneven scalloping. The body of the vessel appears to be double-curve in shape. The interior has a small scale blue floral design along the rim in underglaze blue. The exterior is decorated in underglaze blue in a large scale floral pattern. The porcelain may be Japanese or European in origin and possibly hard paste.
