Chic Woman in Pink Hat Hand-drawn Ink with Watercolor Postcard pretty dish Early 20th century and reflecting

Early 20th century and reflecting a pretty strong Asian influence I think

There is some unevenness to the surface coloration

then colored with water-based paints made of natural pigments on both sides

Beautifully made and with tiny beaded eyes
