A finely potted Kraak plate with the characteristic panelled decoration, beautifully painted in soft yet vibrant tones of underglaze cobalt blue. The rim on the front is divided into eight panels, each decorated with flowering plants and lotus leaves, interspersed with narrow panels filled with diamond and dot motifs. The central medallion depicts a pair of pheasants perched on rockwork beside a pine tree and flowering plants, beneath luxuriant curling clouds. The reverse is similarly divided into panels, decorated with alternating lingzhi and insects, with diamond and dot motifs between the panels. The centre bears a rare and finely executed Egret mark. The footrim shows some typical fine kiln grit.
此件克拉克青花盤胎體精細，採用典型的分格開光裝飾，青花發色柔和而明麗。正面口沿分為八組大型開光，內繪花卉及荷葉，其間穿插填飾菱形與圓點錦紋的狹長開光。盤心圓形開光內繪一對錦雞棲於山石之上，旁襯蒼松與花卉，上方卷雲繚繞。
盤背同樣採用分格裝飾，開光內交替繪靈芝與昆蟲，各組之間填飾菱形及圓點錦紋。底部中央繪「白鷺款」。足圈可見少量細微窯砂黏附，為同類器物常見的燒造痕跡。
