Made by an artist named Heng Run 恒润 (1823-1878). In the style of Hua Yan (1682-1756), who had a strong influence on “bird and flower” painting style down through the Republic, including paintings on ceramics.

 

Below is a brief bio on the artist, Heng Run 恒润. Heng 恒 isn’t really used as a surname though, so I am wondering whether Hengrun might be a given name. 

恒润(1823-1878)，字德父，江南江宁府人。道光二十年中举·此后任江西吉安府卢陵县，湖广荆州府江陵县知县地方官，一度署理黄州知府，为官清廉，终不耐官场腐败，于同治七年（庚午年）辞官故里，乃籍书画、诗词为娱。著<<怀古田舍录>>。
