The piece features a hand-painted porcelain tile depicting an elegantly dressed lady in 18th-century costume, set against a vivid cobalt-blue ground and surrounded by gilt floral and foliate decoration. The porcelain panel is mounted within a rectangular brass frame raised on four small turned feet, forming a decorative tabletop trivet or hot plate. The portrait is finely rendered with powdered curled hair, jewelry, and a richly colored gown in turquoise, magenta, blue, and yellow, giving the piece considerable visual appeal beyond its utilitarian purpose. The brass frame has developed an aged mottled patina with oxidation and dark spotting, while the porcelain surface exhibits scattered scuffs, scratches, staining, rubbing, and areas of wear to the painted and gilt decoration consistent with age and use. The underside retains an older dark backing with additional surface wear. Measures 1.25" H x 8.25" W x 8.25" D.
