Overglaze Enamel Painted Chinese Porcelain Body Sherd

One very small Chinese-export porcelain body sherd with overglaze enamel painting on the interior surface. The opposite surface has no visible decoration. The sherd is possibly from a plate, saucer, or similar vessel type. The painted decoration appears to have green and red/pink decoration and may possibly be rouge de fer or famille rose colors. There are also faint traces of gold gilding over the overglaze decoration.
