A striking pair of antique Chinese Rose Medallion porcelain serving bowls—the classic famille rose “mandarin palette” with figural courtyard scenes, peony-and-bird reserves, butterfly-and-floral borders, and warm gilt accents. At 12 inches in diameter, these read beautifully as centerpiece bowls, fruit display, or statement shelf styling—especially impactful as a symmetrical pair for console tables, matching etagères, or built-ins.
These bowls feature the traditional iron-red seal mark often found on export wares of this type. Based on form, palette, and workmanship, they are best placed in the late 19th to early 20th century Chinese export period (approximately c. 1880–1920).
