The reverse bears a red square seal reading 華榮堂製, meaning “Made by Hua Rong Hall”. The waterfront composition brings architectural and maritime details together within a circular frame. Boats occupy the foreground while the long line of trading houses creates a continuous backdrop. The subdued water contrasts with the brighter flags and warm border colours, giving the scene a narrative focus distinct from a purely floral decorative plate.
