Overglaze Enamel Painted Chinese Porcelain Body Sherd

One fairly thick Chinese-export porcelain body sherd with a blue underglaze painted and red overglaze enamel painted decoration on the exterior. There is no visible decoration on the interior. The red overglaze decoration appears to be splotch-like. The sherd is too small to determine a function or pattern.
