Gempin's cake dish is a square-shaped ceramic plate with a wavy rim and feet at each corner. The dish is glazed in a dark grey color that fades into a lighter tone towards the center. Black brushstrokes are visible on the interior and exterior. The background is white, with a subtle shadow underneath the dish. The black and white image highlights the contrast between the dish's dark glaze and the white background.
