The exterior of the bowl is richly decorated with a variety of flowers in shades of pink, red, and white, set against a black background with green foliage. Within the black background is a large, outlined section with a white background and the design of a large orange rooster surrounded by blue and red flowers. The interior of the bowl is white, and the rim is adorned with alternating geometric and floral patterns in blue, purple, and red tones. The bowl has a wide opening that tapers down to a small foot.
