Hello Tom,

This text found here http://www.e-yaji.com/Marakovic_images/Mar_nar/4_Jiaqing.asp also points to an early 19th date:

"Moulded porcelain reached its heights in the Jiaqing era, but the paucity of types from the early Daoguang era suggests that interest either declined abruptly with the death of the Jiaqing emperor or was already declining in the late years of his reign. One of the popular subjects that define the style of the Jiaqing reign is the design of nine Buddhist lions playing with brocaded, beribboned balls on a formalized cloud ground."
