Thanks Peter.
How did you narrowed it down to Jiaqing? Painting style, facial features?
When you say Canton enamel, how does it differ from the regular domestic fencai enamels?

By learning about styles ...read books, etc. I looked at pictures of some thirty items almost every day, in the first two years I got started with porcelain.
You are wrong if you think there is a shortcut to learning. You also have to learn about the porcelain body and add it into the equation. In this case the foot rim shows a possible period. Learn about export porcelain styles to narrow it down...
