Chinese Canton Famille Rose Medallion Plate

An early 20th-century Canton famille rose porcelain plate from the Republic of China, with a colorful floral border surrounding a central medallion of hand-painted songbirds and butterflies surrounded by peony blossoms. The polychrome color scheme (rose pink, jade green, and golden accents) and cobalt-blue rim perfectly capture the renowned export porcelain craftsmanship of Guangdong province. This piece, which was probably made for European collectors, has some minor age wear but still has its glossy glaze and crisp details. Perfect as an accent for a wall display or for fans of Sino-Western decorative arts
