Saucer dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in an enamel palette of two iron-reds, two greens, turquoise, pale yellow and aubergine outlined in sepia. The well rounded sides have an out-curved rim resting on a low tapered foot. The interior is boldy decorated with an overall design of a kingfisher diving down towards a large clump of lotus with six open blooms, flanked by frilly-edged leaves and tall water grasses, rising from a pond indicated by iron-red dashes, with two mandarin ducks swimming in the foreground. The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
