Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Plate Rim Sherd

One small rim sherd from a Chinese-export porcelain plate with blue underglaze painted decoration on one surface. A portion of the rim has fish roe decoration, but the main pattern cannot be determined due to the size of the sherd. The sherd is most likely from an octagonal-shaped plate.
