Pink, crimson and cream peonies with glossy green leaves spill from a blue and white painted vase trimmed with gold bands. The dark blue motifs on the vase and the deep shadows between the petals and leaves can hide the finder squares and carry the modules. Against the pale background, the dark leaves and saturated petals give the pattern strong contrast, while the detail is spread evenly across the bouquet and the vase. The ruffled petal edges and the diamond border on the ceramic are the sharpest details.
