Deep plates - scene 18c

[haukech]

Dear All,
This plates describe a typical scene which i have seen at a given moment but cannot recall. Perhaps anybody can help?
Also perhaps based on the rim we could propose any further concise dating?
Thanks in advance.

The foot rim seems to be slanted inward. That usually means 18th century. The shape of the peony is typical for Kangxi, but I believe because of the foot rim type it may be a bit later, perhaps Yongzheng or mid-18th century.

Thanks Peterp!
Here some closer pic from the rim.
Does the scene depicted sound somehow familiar to you?

No, just two birds in a garden...
The foot rim detail should usually be taken at an angle of perhaps 45 degrees, from above the rim, so that the cross section shape would be possible, if it was cut apart there. From above the is often a distortion of the slanted portion visible.
