Figures in silk robes on one side, peonies and birds on the other — all hand painted in the Famille Rose tradition that has been captivating collectors for three centuries.
Rose Medallion is one of the most enduring patterns in Chinese export porcelain, alternating panels of figures in courtly settings with panels of flowers and birds, all framed in the characteristic rust-orange border that gives Famille Rose its warmth. This small creamer — vintage to the 1920s–1940s, made in China — carries every hallmark of the style: the fully hand-painted surface, a tiny flower painted inside the spout, floral "dots" on the handle, and the rich palette of pink, green, and gold that defines the tradition. Note: there is a chip on the side with the pink flowers, photographed clearly for review.
A welcome addition for anyone building a Rose Medallion collection, or a standalone piece for the lover of Chinese export porcelain and Famille Rose. Priced to reflect its condition — the pattern and the painting are intact and beautiful.
