The color is a gradient that gradually moves between white at the top and lower edges to a tan and then a deep brown in the center of the body. In the front center is a colorful image of two flowers surrounded by green leaves. One flower is a purple and yellow iris, and the other is a red rose. Gold borders the rim.
