Of shaped hexagonal form, painted in bright polychrome enamels heightened with gilt,

in the 'Chinese Musicians' pattern,

likely modeled after a Chinese original, the border a Worcester addition,
depicting three Chinese ladies, the central figure playing a flute, attended by two figures holding fans,

and a young boy holding a ruyi scepter, a large orange butterfly hovering above;
the rim with a strong green hatch-diapered border alternating with orange flowerheads

Note : The standing mother and child was the subject of another Worcester pattern,
painted over transfer outlines, on bottle vases and mustard jars pattern after c1754.
