Up for sale/sale is a magnificent, large-scale Chinese Export porcelain punch bowl decorated in the classic Rose Medallion style. Dating to the mid-to-late 20th century, this impressive centerpiece bowl features a premium 14.5-inch diameter that makes a stunning statement on a sideboard, dining table, or entry console.
Design & Pattern Details:
The exterior features beautifully rendered alternating panels (cartouches). Two panels depict detailed domestic courtly figures socializing within a traditional pavilion setting, while the alternating two panels feature vibrant pink peonies, floral sprigs, and finely detailed butterflies. The interior rim is framed by a rich border of butterflies and flowers, leading down to a spectacular, large central medallion on the inside floor showcasing an additional complex figural court scene enclosed in a thick rose-colored border.
Features & Craftsmanship:
• Unmarked Base: Completely clean, unmarked, and unstamped white glazed bottom, a styling choice common on mid-to-late 20th-century decorative pieces to mimic older export traditions.
• Scale: At 14.5 inches wide, this is a premium, heavy statement piece that is much harder to find than the common 9-inch or 10-inch decorative bowls.
• Enameling: Features thick, vibrant, hand-applied overglaze enamels with beautiful depth and delicate gold gilt accents along the upper rim.
Dimensions:
• Diameter: Approx. 14.5 inches (36.8 cm)
• Height: Approx. 6.5 inches (16.5 cm)
Condition Report:
This bowl is in excellent vintage condition. There are no chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or signs of repair. There is only very minimal, minor wear to the gold gilt on the rim and light surface scratches on the interior glaze from gentle display use over the years. Please examine all high-resolution photos carefully as they serve as the primary description of the item’s condition.
