They measure 8-1/4" across by 9-1/2" on the diagonal by 1-1/2" high, with... scalloped corners and sloped and ribbed edges.
They are hand painted with a band of deep fuschia flowers, shaded green leaves and double swags of gold wheat.

Scattered sprigs of tiny blue flowers and gold leaves dot the wells.
There is some fading to the décor, mostly where the gold dots cross over the raised ribs. A few firing spots on the back.
