Five small dishes arranged together, each with a white base and blue rim. The interior of each dish features a blue design of a turnip with leafy greens. The turnip and leaves are painted in varying shades of blue, with darker shades used for the leaves and lighter shades for the turnip. The background of the image is gray, with a slight shadow visible beneath the dishes.
