Dear Giovanni
While I appreciate your well informed opinions on porcelains,
Please do a quick search of Yixing grape vine patterns around the internet  There is an abundance of examples of this simple monochromatic design element albeit accomplished with incisions and modeling and without a paint brush. The pattern here would then be the handcpainted equivalent to the Yixing grape pattern found on tea pots rather than the more elaborate porcelain patterns and again done in an austere manner for the literati
Best
