Saucer dish (one of a pair). Hard-paste porcelain painted in iron-red, yellow, aubergine, turquoise, blue and two green enamels with details in black and gilding. It has shallow rounded sides with a slightly lipped rim resting on a very low tapered foot. It shows a maiden and a boy in a balustraded garden, the boy gesturing towards her as she sits on a red stool holding a leafy sprig. The rim is encircled by double line borders in iron-red; the underside with ribboned artemesia leaf, ruyi-sceptre, cash and qin emblems and a coat-of-arms in iron-red. The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
