Two sides are painted at center with a large, left-facing, red crab flower with alizarin and white overtones on a red stem with yellow hash marks and yellow-highlighted green leaflets; a fanlike flower and two oval buds spring to the left from green, serrated-edge leaves with white main veins and yellow side veins. The other two sides have one group of graduated yellow brushstrokes beneath lattice fence strokes. Symmetrical green and yellow leaflets of two different designs fill the four corners of the well. Made in five pieces with a molded, wire-rolled rim, folded seams, and a flat bottom. No marks.
