Chinese export plate bearing arms of Bruce of Kennet and  of Bruce of Stenhouse, circa 1790.

The border has a narrow rubbed gilt edge and is decorated with a blue shaded diaper pattern with blue spearheads.

 

The cavetto is decorated with a blue diaper/trellis pattern with blue spearheads.

 

The center contains the Bruce armorial.
