The hand-painted floral motif highlights delicate chrysanthemums, meticulously rendered with applied gilded enamel. This relief decoration, where additional elements such as enamel dots are raised from a flat surface, creates a stunning three-dimensional effect.

The factory marks on the base date this piece to 1891. The crown symbol, introduced in 1886, signifies Doulton's appointment as potters to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
