About the Item

A mid-nineteenth century Chinese 'famille rose' (also referred to as 'rose medallion') porcelain vase with applied gilded dragons to the shoulder, handles and to the neck, decorated with enamels throughout with figurative cartouches of a courtyard scene upon a white ground with stylised birds and floral motifs. Canton or Cantonese porcelain is the characteristic style of ceramic ware decorated in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong and (prior to 1842) the sole legal port for export of Chinese goods to Europe. As such, it was one of the major forms of export ware produced in China in the 18th,19th and 20th centuries. Typically, the export ware was made, glazed, and fired at Jingdezhen but decorated with enamels in Guangzhou (then usually romanized as Canton) for export to the west via the Thirteen Factories of the Canton System. Canton famille rose in the 19th century was typically decorated with figures and birds, flowers and insects, predominantly in pink and green. The decorative famille rose patterns used in export wares may be differentiated by the following terms: Rose Canton which is decorated with flowers, birds and insects but with no human figures; Rose Mandarin with human figures as the main subject and introduced in the late 18th century; and Rose Medallion which has different panels that may be of different subjects and introduced in the 19th century.
