Porcelain scent bottle with the pear-shaped body embellished with two vibrant, multi-colored blossoms—including stylized blue aster-like flowers, pink peonies, and green foliage—, while the sides feature faint monochromatic silver-grey scrollwork. It is crowned with a silver stopper that includes an ornate, flat finial pierced with a central ring.
