About the Item

This exquisite pair of Chinese Rose Medallion porcelain saucer plates exemplifies the elegance and intricate artistry of Qing Dynasty decorative ceramics, likely dating from the mid to late 19th century. Crafted with exceptional precision, each plate showcases the classic Rose Medallion pattern, distinguished by its vibrant palette of pinks, greens, blues, and golds, highlighted by meticulously detailed hand-painted scenes. The plates are divided into alternating panels of courtly figures and floral motifs, framed by intricate gilt scrollwork. The figural scenes depict courtly life, featuring finely dressed nobles engaged in conversation within palace interiors, a theme reflecting the refined lifestyle of the Chinese elite during the Qing Dynasty. The floral panels burst with peonies, chrysanthemums, and birds, symbolizing prosperity, beauty, and harmony. At the center of each plate is a medallion featuring a floral spray encircled by gilded geometric patterns, serving as a focal point that draws the viewer's eye to the intricate detail and artistry. The borders are richly decorated with latticework and scrolling foliage, a hallmark of Cantonese export porcelain designed for the Western market during the 19th century. Rose Medallion porcelain originated in the Canton region of China, becoming highly prized in Europe and America for its lavish decoration and vibrant color palette. These plates exemplify the height of Chinese export porcelain craftsmanship, combining traditional Chinese symbolism with decorative elements catered to Western tastes. Measures: 6.25" w.

During the 18th century, Europeans provided an eager market for Chinese export porcelain, especially the colorful and fanciful ware known as “famille rose.” Named for a palette of opaque overglaze enamels that favored roses and pinks, famille rose porcelain ware was crafted with the same technical virtuosity as imperial porcelain but designed for Western tastes. This pair of fine porcelain dishes is a beautiful example of famille rose, decorated with pastel enamels in a palette of purple, turquoise, and pink. The center of each plate is decorated with a calm scene of a woman and a young boy in a garden, surrounded by flowering plum branches and lingzhi fungi of immortality. The scene is bordered by an all-over purple fish...
