This lovely Chinese export Rose Medallion platter was hand painted in the first half of the 19th century with overglaze enamels of pinks, rust, greens, blue, black and yellow over a white background. The face of the platter has four cartouche alternating between scenes of people and flowers and birds of paradise, with fanciful borders throughout. The center medallion features a bird with flowers surrounded by four butterflies. Very colorful and detailed.
Note Chinese characters written on the bottom of the platter in the last image.
