Description
The white interior of the shallow bowl is decorated with an image of a red steamship plunging through stylized blue waves; the sky is filled with yellow sunshine. The image evokes the theme of the Great Helmsman, Mao Zedong. The wide, flat rim is green, bounded by a black bowstring at the outer edge.
