Benedict Silver Plate

Q: I’ve had this silver-plated piece for many years. I think it came from my grandmother’s house. It’s marked “Benedict Period Plate, Chinese Chippendale.” I’m surprised it was made in the U.S. since it clearly has Asian decoration. It has cutout designs and there are six pictures embossed on the rim. It looks like a story is being told. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
