Hi Peter, here are a couple of plates I just purchased, these look old to me, the backs would suggest 18th century but not sure about the front, they look good to me but I am not that knowledgeable on 18th century fencai, your expertise is appreciated, I will post 8 photos, thanks.

Here are 3 more photo's to view.

Jiaqing reign, Canton enamel, for export.  I do have a number of such items (this is about medium in the rating I mentioned in the other post).
Yes, Jiaqing still have the foot rim feature of the 18th century. It is said that the already fired blanks of the Qianlong reign lasted for another 20 years. But not sure if this is a fact, or if they just continued to fire them the same way for some time.
Often the scenes depict something in Chinese literature, culture or history, but I do not recognize them, so please do not ask. :-)

Thank you Peter, much appreciated.
