Posted By: Super Sun, Aug 23, 2015 More than likely, some kind of birds because it says avian, that is the problem when pictures of the whole piece was not posted and one tries to translate. Good catch on the possible painter though. |

Posted By: rat Mon, Aug 24, 2015 Unfortunately there is zero chance this is by Castiglione, who painted, but not on ceramics. Instead this is a recently made fantasy piece trying to convey a Qianlong pedigree. |

Posted By: Nan Mon, Aug 24, 2015 yes you are quite right the painting is of budgerigars on a branch. I had great difficulty making the photo smaller so only posted the poem. |
