Interesting plate.  Can't find any similar and can't identify the "creatures" from these pics.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Famille Verte` just means that the artwork was done with shades of green,,,Famille Rose was pinks or reds !!  Predominantly done in 17th and 18th century but do not think this one is that old !!  Can be 20th century !!
