I actually found several examples of each type and the monochrome were consistently highly detailed while the Famille Rose were not.  This is apparently a model that was first introduced during the Jiaqing period.  In my previous research of Qianlong molded porcelain snuff bottles I found they were all expertly finished and had hand carved details regardless of the type enamels used to finish them.  So that is my 'aha' out of all of this.

Thank you for adding your critique to this thread, Joey.  Hope you are traveling safe and enjoyed Italy.
