Large 27 cm Chinese plate with an astonishing detailed finish similar to Chinese imperial pieces. Not sure if its CHAI JINGYI (Chinese female painter, poet) of the Banana Garden Five picture. The mark on the reverse its not hand painted but stamped and glazed similar to seal of the Qianlong imperial seals. It was acquired from a charity shop during my recent trip to Portugal.
