The Beauty of Rose Medallion Porcelain



The Rose Medallion pieces of Porcelain that we have in our showroom have caught my eye since day one. These pieces are beautiful, colorful, and tell a story. We have such a wide variety of Rose Medallion pieces here at Pickwick Antiques from plates to bowls and vases to lamps. 


Rose Medallion pieces are some of the most highly collectible porcelain that can be found today! According to thewisecollector.com this porcelain is know known as "Chinese Export" and these pieces were made in China exclusively for export between the years 1780 and 1880 and into the 20th Century. Higher quality Rose Medallion uses gold to highlight in hair, vines, birds, and butterflies. According to antiques.lovetoknow.com the Rose Medallion pieces have birds and people while similar styles such as Rose Mandarin have people and no birds and Canton that has neither birds or people. We have all three of these pieces in our showroom but today let's spotlight a few of the Rose Medallion pieces we have!
