Although the late Qing period saw a marked decline in the quality of porcelains produced, many surviving pieces nonetheless feature charming and humorous portrayals of Chinese life. The faces painted on this plaque are exaggerated and rather naive, while the lower right corner features an incense burner looking hilariously like an UFO. The exposed clay biscuit to reverse is very typical of the mid-late 19th century. The wood plaque stand is included.
