A Brief History of the Rose Medallion China
For centuries, Chinese porcelain export has been famous amongst collectors, treasure hunters, and interior designers. The Rose medallion pattern of porcelain first emerged in the 1850s, and it was largely exported to Europe and America due to increased demand.
The Europeans, in particular, were huge fans of the painting and intricate designs displayed on this piece of porcelain.
The first production of Chinese enamel porcelain was infused with shades of pink and red. It was also painted with a variety of enamels in green, purple, blue, and yellow.
The name given to this pattern of porcelain was not because it consisted of an actual rose, it was named rose medallion because of the color. Hence the term ‘Rose Medallion’ emerged.
This term is also pertinent to porcelain itself because it has similar characteristics and patterns to that of a rose. Porcelain is grouped under the category of Famille Rose, which is french for The Rose Family.
The actual flower painted on this porcelain is, in fact, the national flower of China, a peony! It only makes sense that the Chinese would incorporate their national flower into their designs that would soon be circulating in the international market.
