The exterior features a vibrant, high-relief slip (barbotine) design depicting a blooming pink poppy and complementary buds amidst fluid, organic green foliage and scrolling stems. The background moves elegantly through a graded earth=tone wash from light beige to deep brown.

The underside is fully marked with the factory's signature impressed windmill stamp, "orchies france", and the specific design mould number "490". This piece has an attribution mark,
