Underglaze Painted Soft Paste Porcelain Plate Rim Sherd

One thick-bodied and slightly unusual soft paste porcelain rim sherd from a plate or soup plate with blue underglaze painted decoration on both surfaces. Possibly Chinese Export porcelain, although appears to be poor quality or underfired. The decoration on the face looks like Wan-Li style.
