<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3024159, member: 7360&quot;]I have had this little saucer dish for some years, assuming it was English or European 18th century.&nbsp; I have now been told that it is definitely Chinese, but possibly painted in Europe.&nbsp; Having searched for similar items I think the painting is probably also Chinese, but would like the opinions of some of the helpful people on Antiquers, particularly about age.&nbsp; I was suprised how few puce items I could find online, was this a rare form of decoration?&nbsp; Or perhaps I am using the wrong search term?&nbsp; The rather uneven surface of the dish when viewed against the light, is unlike anything else I have in my collection.[ATTACH=full]289973[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289979[/ATTACH] The painting is very delicate and fine, and I love the little insect, which I think may be to cover a fault in the porcelain, or perhaps just for fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
