This
is a wonderful statement piece for Famille Rose Medallion lovers! It’s a 10-inch
lotus-shaped bowl with gold leaf on the scalloped edges, and the prettiest
colors of pink, coral red, yellow, green, blue and white. The vintage bowl features a beautiful floral medallion with a bird in the center, surrounded
by alternating panel motifs of flowers with birds and people. The outside of
the bowl also has a similar pattern.
The details are lovely and the scenes classic for this
pattern. This hand painted, footed bowl is about 10 inches in diameter and
about 4 inches high, making it a versatile piece that can be perched on a shelf,
sideboard, console or entry table for an eye-catching statement. It would also
be beautiful as a centerpiece on a dining table.
The iron red mark on the bottom has 4
characters indicating the Da Qing Qianlong period in which it was hand painted
for export, probably in the late 1960s to 1970s.
This bowl is a stunning example of the exquisite artistry of Famille Rose Medallion porcelain, which became popular in the United States and Europe as early as 1820. It's a great piece for fans of vintage Asian porcelain, Chinoiserie, and grandmillennial style.
