The quality of the decoration and the presence of roosters may suggest that it is a decoration from the Yongzheng period, on porcelain from the Kangxi period.
This motif does not appear in Hélène Espir's book on Chinese porcelain decorated in the West, but there is a comparable model. We have not found an identical model.
For a similar model, see: - European Decoration on Oriental Porcelain, Helen Espir, p.78.
For an alternating border of quails and phoenixes, see: - European Decoration on Oriental Porcelain, Helen Espir, p.95
