Glazed in a pale green gray, the small round case has a flat walled side that curves inward at the bottom, and a flat walled lid that similarly slopes in to a flat top, the two parts forming a puck shape. Within the flat circular top is a white flower motif with dark, wispy stems and leaves. This is bordered all around on the sloped side of the lid with a stylized leaf pattern in thin dark green lines. Below, the flat wall of the lower half is banded with a narrow geometric pattern in pale yellow lines.
