  The disc has a wide surface, a slightly circular arc in the disc, and the rim of the disc mouth is out of the flange, with a width of 5cm. A hollow circle with a diameter of 1.5 cm is arranged in the middle of the pipe edge for a continuous circle. The rim of the circle is painted with gold color, and the hole is connected with the hole painting ring, and decorated with flowers. The edge of the inner wall of the plate is decorated with alum red patterns, and the center of the plate is decorated with five color changing patterns of diamond squares. The patterns are arranged in a trapezoidal overlapping square pattern. The color arrangement seems irregular, but it is actually symmetrical. The square pattern is surrounded by continuous grass leaf patterns. The center of the plate is decorated with a square pattern surrounded by curly grass flower patterns. The wall of the plate is decorated with eight color change square patterns. The outside of the plate is decorated with four layers of flower patterns. Where there are gold lines on the surface, the two sides of the gold lines are painted with alum red. The rest are outlined with yellow lines. This piece is in red color “made in the year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty”. It should be Emperor Qianlong’s resignation
