Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Rose Medallion is a style of Chinese export porcelain produced predominantly during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Guangzhou. It features central medallions or panels depicting birds, flowers, butterflies, and human figures framed by scrolling vines and floral motifs.

These vases are constructed from kaolin-based porcelain fired at high temperatures, then hand-painted using overglaze enamels known as famille rose. Gilding is applied to raised details, relief figures, and moulded dragons.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature hand-painted details with slight variations, rich enamel glazes, and unglazed foot rims showing paste. Earlier pieces lack country-of-origin marks such as CHINA or HONG KONG, which were mandated after 1891.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a dark wood sideboard or console table creates a balanced focal point in contemporary or traditional schemes. The pink and green hues complement neutral backdrops, brass accents, and structured furnishings.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to clean intricate moulded areas. Avoid immersion in water, harsh detergents, or abrasive materials, as these can strip overglaze enamel and gilding.
