Here we have an elaborately decorated eight-sided plate with golden stylized flowers, petals, leaves, floral patterns, and repeated dots. With the six main water flowers in the center, their long stems curve upward and dance around each other in various stages of opening. Three of the flowers have a repeated layering design similar to a basket weave showing the underside of the flowers at differing angles in the bottom left, middle center, and top left corner of the plate's indented center. The other three flowers have long vertical lines for pointed and folded petals, again in various stages of opening, in the center of the plate and top. Behind the central flowers are flower forms similar to fireworks: long lines raying from a central point and opening outward with circles filled in with white at the ends. Along the sides of the plate are randomly-placed, opened, stylized flowers reminiscent of stars, water lillies, chrysanthemums, and more firework-like flowers. The star flowers are pointed but connect with a curved line on the edge and include vertical lines, and curved arcs halfway down the petal, like a mandala. The water lillies have long, leaf-shaped petals that sit on an open star in the back. The chrysanthemums are also mandala-like with many thin petals and repeated arch patterns. The last firework-like flower is the same design as the background flowers in the center, but with blue, white, and an additional light red on the end. In between these bordering flowers are gold circles with color dots inside in light blue or white. Beside the color dots are intricate gold dots that curve and swirl in loose circular patterns between all of the flowers in on the bordering edges and slightly into the center. The background is a dark blue that is almost black, and the whole plate has a thin, gold border around the edge, framing the flower and dot scene.
