The plate is round with a wide rim. The plate has a white base color with blue, red, orange, and green designs.

The rim of the plate is divided into sections with a blue background and white outlines. Each section contains a design; there are four sections with a goose, two with a flower, and four with what appears to be a bundle of items. The background of the image is dark gray at the top and light gray at the bottom.
