The birds are set amongst scrolling green vines, pink peonies, and yellow tulips. The base is marked with a printed black oval backstamp containing a stylized monogram JRM? in the centre. The surrounding text reads HAND CERAMICA SOOR? at the top and MADE IN ITALY to the right. The lower section of the stamp reads DECORATED CERAMIC DISHWASHER.
