Could anyone help with dating this jar? I know that the jar is in the famille rose style with four panels of flowers representing each of the four seasons and believe it to be 19th c., but would be interested in knowing a more specific time period.

You can see the porcelain has 'pig bristle' bursts, very white biscuit paste, and fine crazing to the green glaze of the leaves (especially the lotus leaves).
Also, the style seems very unusual with the pink feather pattern. The lines of the feathers are painted on, not carved as is the case with sgraffiato. Has anyone seen this style before?
Thanks.
