White bowl with blue and gold decorations. The bowl is predominantly white with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The top third of the bowl has a gold geometric pattern made of interlocking lines. The lower part of the bowl features blue floral designs. The floral designs include a large flower with long curved stems and leaves. There are two thin blue lines around the bowl, one just below the gold pattern and one near the base. Red numbers are painted on the front of the base. The background of the image is gray.
