Dish with a couple and phoenixes
The image depicts a blue and white porcelain dish. The dish features a wide rim with an octagonal pattern that repeats around its edge. Within each octagon are different blue designs including flowers, people, insects, and a lion. The center of the dish features a pavilion on a rocky outcropping with 2 people standing within it and a large bird-like phoenix to the left. The pavilion's roof has blue and white stripes. The people are dressed in long blue clothing. The pavilion's flooring appears to be made of wooden slats. The background transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
