The horse has a purple mane and tail, with brown reins. Royal cipher 'K W' to either side of his head. Blue painted landscape with low fence to left and sponged blue trees and bushes either side and underfoot. Broad blue dash border with partial yellow wash to rim. Three stilt marks in centre of dish, within circular ring where glaze has been accidentally wiped off, possibly by rim of another plate.
