Overglaze Enamel Painted and Fluted Chinese Porcelain Saucer

One mended, lightly fluted Chinese porcelain saucer comprised of two rim, body, and base sherds with a footring. There is a European-style enamel decoration painted over the glaze on the interior surface featuring a red, parallel lined border with heart shapes along the slightly scalloped rim. Additional rim fragments reveal enameled floral designs and dots within this border. There are pink roses surrounded by gilded leaves outlined in dark green and a wavy red punctuated line on the face. Additional base, body, and rim fragments featuring this design are present.
