3 PIECE CHINESE CERAMIC VASE ROSE MEDALLION PARCEL-GILT GARNITURE: c. 1850, The set consisting of three vases, two of Rouleau form and all with scalloped edges and applied stylized animal mounts in the famille rose palette and parcel-gilt. Their bodies painted with alternating panels of dignitaries, scholars and ladies on terraces with birds, butterflies and flowers and surrounded with borders of “C” scrolls, and flowers. Heights: 13.5” and 12”h. The largest vases include custom built, unattached lamp mounts. This piece was purchased in the 1960s from a convent in San Francisco. In the early 19th century a new palette in Chinese ceramic decoration evolved which utilized tightly painted and gilded decoration, these were known as the ‘Rose Medallion’ family of decorations. The more careful and tightly packed the decoration, generally the higher the quality. Included within this genre are five specific patterns, 1. Rose Medallion -A central circle is surrounded by panels with alternating decoration which usually include birds, flowers, butterflies, and people in a house. Separating the panels are scrollwork vines, and flying "Fu" bats, a symbol for good luck and happiness. 2. Rose Mandarin – A variation on Rose medallion which is limited to only people in the panels. 3. Rose Canton - Omits the people and only depicts flowers and birds. 4. Cabbage – Which has a radiating design from the center of leafy greens similar to bok choy. 5. Bird and Butterfly – A rare pattern which consists of only scattered birds and butterflies.
