A portion of the design on the side facing forward shows a bird. The saucer is on the right; it is round and flat with a design that has a bird. The design on the saucer is similar to the teacup; dark on top with white speckles. The bird on the saucer faces to the left and appears to be standing on a branch with foliage.
