The bowl has a round, short foot and a curved, broad, pierced rim. The surface depicts with detailed, shaded painting the bust of a young woman dressed in Renaissance clothes, wearing a hairnet. There is a ribbon behind, with LIVIA BELLA (beautiful Livia) inscription. The picture is enclosed by four medallions of ornamental frames, depicting the busts of children. The space between the medallions and the rim are decorated with large, oval slots, with four female half-nudes with butterfly wings painted in between. There are eight small, painted medal-lions with male heads on the outer rim, connected with leaves. The ornaments are coloured ultramarine, yellow and ochre against the white base the figures are richly coloured and shaded.
