Porcelain saucer of generous proportions, finely potted with a broad, gently flaring rim. The interior is enamelled in delicate famille rose and underglaze blue tones, centred with a floral composition arranged around a pierced scholar’s rock, painted in cobalt blue with iron-red and green highlights. The cavetto is bordered by a continuous blue scroll band, while the wide rim is decorated with scattered polychrome flower sprays in pink, yellow, green and blue enamels, rendered with lively brushwork and balanced spacing.
The reverse is plain with a neatly recessed base and unglazed footring, showing typical kiln grit and firing marks consistent with Qianlong-period manufacture. The saucer is fitted with an old metal display mount on the reverse, indicating long-standing appreciation and display in a Western collection.
