Every hand-painted plate tells a different story.
These 9.25" Rose Medallion plates are antique Chinese export porcelain at its finest — each one hand-painted in Canton in the classic format: alternating panels of court figures in elaborately detailed interior scenes, full-bloom peonies, birds in flight, and butterflies, all separated by gold scrollwork on a celadon green ground. A gilt-bordered rose medallion anchors the center. The rim is finished in gilt.
Rose Medallion has been produced for Western export since the early 19th century and remains one of the most avidly collected Chinese porcelain patterns in the world. Because every piece was painted by hand, no two plates are identical — the figural scenes, the floral arrangements, and the fine details differ from plate to plate. These two are no exception. Great antique condition with minor paint loss.
Sold individually at $90 each.
Tucked inside every set, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
