Vintage Rose Medallion Porcelain Covered Vegetable Dish

The intricate pattern of this covered vegetable dish is known as Rose Medallion. The traditional Rose Medallion pattern relies on a central circle (the medallion) surrounded by alternating panels. One panel typically shows courtly or domestic Chinese figures, while the adjacent panel shows birds, butterflies, and pink peonies. This style is 200 years old; this piece is vintage and was produced around 1960-1980. The medallion panels feature a lime floor instead of the rusty orange seen in most pieces and is accented with blue Greek key and gold gilt.

Pieces like this one are sought after today by designers and collectors. The vibrant pinks, greens, and gold accents make it a standout piece for Chinoiserie and Grandmillennial design styles. Place it in the center of your dining table, sideboard, or shelves. It looks beautiful sitting on top of a stack of books, hiding little incidentals that otherwise take over. It would also look amazing as a floral vessel. Remove the lid (and lean it against the base), then use the bowl to hold an orchid arrangement.
