The plate itself only has two colors: a cream background with gold decoration, which is embossed, or painted with raised elements. Along the border of the plate is a row of circles, and next to that a row of smaller circles. As we travel inward, the largest decoration space is devoted to an elaborate paisley pattern, with the negative space in between curved flowers and pointed leaves littered with even smaller dots. The paisley leaves spiral inward like fiddlehead plants and are surrounded by feather-like fanning, coming off the shared stem. There are six paisley leaves in total around the plate, all unique in pattern but creating a symmetrical composition overall. On the end of each leaf is either a grid like design, similar to a tic-tac-toe board tilted on its side, or crest-like motif: shaped like a tulip, it has an arc with small dots the tulip-shape sits on, leaves emerging from the arc, and a ray of small dots above the tulip. As we travel even more inward, there is a row of small dots on a solid guilded circle, and modest geometric pattern emerging from that. Small arcs with curved ends meet with and touch each other, with dots and three-pronged in between. In the center of the plate is an intricate circle mandala, comprised of a compass-like and petal-like center, surrounded by two rows of tiny gold dots, with curving decorations similar to fiddleheads, also paired with tiny gold dots. To the left of the plate is a column of blue printed numbers in a bold serif font with penciled checkmarks and a penciled number 4. Above the plate is the similarly printed number (470) with a sans-serif, purple (AA) above that, surrounded by penciled sketches of other tableware with assigned numbers and kanji characters: three teacups and saucers sets, two sets of sugarbowls and milk pitchers, a teapot, two additional vessels with open scallop edges and handles.
