A dish of this pattern is illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong: Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, p. 116, no. 99. This design provides a rebus for 'happiness up to the tips of your eyebrows'. Compare also a pair of dishes with similar decoration was sold in our New York rooms, 19 September 2006, lot 346.
