Pair: Exquisite Early 19th Century Chinese Rose Medallion Porcelain Temple Jars

About the Item

This exquisite pair of Early 19th Century Rose Medallion porcelain temple jars are truly outstanding. The pair is quite large, more than two feet tall and a foot wide, in perfect condition, and the color is incredibly vibrant, an extremely rare combination to find in a piece of this age. The pair is heavily painted in the classic rose medallion style. The scroll work is accented by flowers, birds, and insects to create a border around the panels which depict scenes of community and nature. In our four generations of collecting, we have never come across a pair as pristine and exquisite as this. This piece is a collection of a fourth generation, family owned business in New Orleans called The French Antique Shop. The store was first opened by Marie and Marcel Granet in Paris when they married in 1927. A jewish family, they came to the United States before the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving on the last boat out of Paris' port, Le Havre. When they reached New Orleans, they fell in love with the Vieux Carre as it reminded them of home. Their first shop here in New Orleans was located on Chartres Street in the French Quarter and was stocked originally with pieces they had brought with them from Paris. They moved to Royal Street and settled in their present expanded location at 225 Royal Street in 1947. Today, the shop is run by the third and fourth generation, Marc, and his two sons Michael and Brian. By purchasing from our shop, you're supporting a family run business which focuses on artisan made, high quality craft with an emphasis on quality. Thank you for helping us continue a dream started four generations ago!
