Antique Chinese Export Rose Medallion Pierced Fruit Basket and Undertray 19th C

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Chinese Export Rose Medallion fruit basket and undertray exemplify the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Chinese porcelain. The pierced fruit basket is a remarkable work of porcelain design, featuring delicately cut latticework that adds both visual elegance and functional charm. Adorned in the vibrant and iconic Rose Medallion style, the piece is richly decorated with hand-painted scenes that alternate between courtly figures engaged in daily life and lush floral motifs, which include peonies, birds, and butterflies—symbols of prosperity, love, and beauty. The accompanying undertray complements the basket perfectly, echoing the same intricate motifs and showcasing a gently scalloped rim that enhances its refined aesthetic. The combination of vivid pinks, greens, blues, and golds, along with meticulous hand-painted details and gilding, reflects the exceptional skill of the Qing Dynasty artisans who crafted these pieces for the Western export market. Together, the basket and tray embody a fusion of Eastern elegance and Western taste. In excellent antique condition, the set shows minor wear to the gilding and enamel, consistent with age and careful use, and remains free from visible cracks, chips, or restorations. This Rose Medallion fruit basket and undertray are not only functional but also serve as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchange of the 19th century. They would make an extraordinary addition to any collection of Chinese Export porcelain or serve as a striking centerpiece in a sophisticated interior. Measures: 11" w x 9.625" D (tray) - 10.625" w x 9.375" d x 4" h (basket).
