A finely and thinly potted dish, painted in soft tones of underglaze cobalt blue. The central medallion is decorated with a bird on elaborate rockwork, with two birds in flight in the distance. The rim is divided into the characteristic Kraak panelled design with eight cartouches, decorated with flowers, peaches and insects. The reverse is similarly divided into eight cartouches, decorated with alternating peaches and insects in a slightly simpler style. The centre bears an egret mark with closed beak.
此盤胎體輕薄，製作精細，以柔和青花繪飾。盤心圓形開光內繪花鳥山石圖，一隻禽鳥棲於嶙峋洞石之上，遠處另有兩隻飛鳥。
口沿採用典型的克拉克式分格裝飾，分設八組開光，內繪花卉、桃實及昆蟲。盤背同樣分為八組開光，以較為簡練的筆法交替描繪桃實與昆蟲。底部中央書鳥喙閉合的「白鷺款」。
