Around the exterior are clusters of fruit and three sprigs of plums and leaves alternating with gilt scroll-edged hatchwork panels, all pendant from a border of gilt elongated C-scrolls edged with a bead-and-reel band. The center of the interior has a plum sprig. The scalloped rim is edged in gilding. There is wear to the center and some of the gilding.
