A lovely antique Chinese Famille Rose porcelain plate on a soft celadon ground, richly hand-painted with butterflies, birds and flowers.

The enameling is vibrant and detailed with raised accents and fine brushwork throughout.

I believe it has a fair bit of age to it - happy to be corrected if you know better.

Approx. size: 18cm diameter, 2cm deep.

In great all round condition but has a firing mark and a firing crack to the base which can be seen, overpainted, on the front - hence the low reserve.

Also has a seal mark in underglaze blue to the base.

NB: I am currently listing items on behalf, from my father's extensive antique collection - https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/Sell/Current.aspx Current items will include Satsuma, Cloisonne, Kutani - later there will be British and Continental items.
