On the flat, a woman at a pond with reeds gesturing towards three birds before her on the land, beside the woman, a servant holding a richly decorated parasol over her head; on the wall, flower branches alternating with a medallion; the rim with a honeycomb motif containing four cartouches with a woman and four medallions with birds; the back with eight insects. The representation is after a design by Cornelis Pronk (1691-1754). The rim is restored with six staples. European representation in enamel colors.
