Side A bears a single large boldly rendered gold 和 (\u003cem\u003ewa\u003c\/em\u003e — harmony, peace, Japan) kanji, painted in a loose calligraphic hand. Side B carries repeat gold-and-silver orchid (\u003cem\u003eran\u003c\/em\u003e, 蘭) sprays — a motif associated with refinement and scholarly cultivation, one of the traditional Four Gentlemen plants. The flat brass lid fits within the arare-textured rim and is surmounted by a finely cast two-tier silver-metal finial: a chrysanthemum (\u003cem\u003ekiku\u003c\/em\u003e) collar base supporting a reticulated spherical cage element with amber glass bead at the apex. This finial is a distinctive workshop signature shared across a group of related tetsubin.
