Antique Chinese Canton Rose Medallion Plate

19th century
Description

A finely painted Canton Rose Medallion plate decorated in the classic famille rose palette. The design is arranged in four alternating reserves: two featuring elegant courtly figures in pavilion settings and two filled with richly detailed birds, butterflies, foliage and blooming peonies.

The border is framed with scrolling foliage, gilt highlights and soft pink lotus motifs, all characteristic of high-quality Canton export porcelain.

The enamels remain vibrant with good detail throughout, and the central medallion is particularly well executed. A lovely decorative plate and an excellent example of 19th-century Chinese export artistry. In lovely condition with no repairs, chips or cracks.

FAQs

Developed in the nineteenth century for export to Western markets, Rose Medallion porcelain features framed panels surrounding a central medallion. These alternating panels typically depict figures in courtyard settings alongside flowers, birds, and insects in vibrant overglaze enamels.

These items were crafted from fine kaolin clay porcelain, decorated by hand using overglaze enamel pigmentspredominantly pinks and greens from the Famille Rose paletteand finished with gilding on the borders and background lattice.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-poured glaze irregularities, fine surface wear, and subtle variations in the hand-painted enamelling and gilding. Items produced prior to 1891 generally lack modern country-of-origin stamps like CHINA.

Position decorative plates on stands inside timber cabinetry, display them on a gallery wall using brass hangers, or place one flat on a console table to highlight the intricate multi-coloured enamel work.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush. Avoid water immersion, detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as moisture and chemicals can cause gilding and overglaze enamel pigments to flake.
