A fine early 乾隆 Qianlong Chinese export famille rose plate employing a multitude of the popular decorative patterns in the painter's repertoire.  Extending from the cavetto onto the rim a meandering rococo scroll detailed in brilliant blue enamels with alternating diaper panels painted in 'oeil-de-perdrix' (partridge eye) sometimes also referred to as 'le sol d'oeufs de poisson' (fish roe ground) and a chrysanthemum cell diaper design with further small pink and blue containers with peony blossom, lotus blossom, and brown ruyi shaped baskets with lilies, each painted with an alternating cell diaper pattern.  A central jardinière of peonies, roses and daisies supported on a  ruyi-head footed stand painted in brilliant enamels and bianco-sopra-bianco.  The brown-washed outer rim has a border of half-blossoms in profile alternating in iron red and white enamel reserved against a "rain and clouds" border of blue and lavender.
