A beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find pair of 19th century Chinese Export Rose Medallion shrimp dishes, richly decorated in the classic palette of famille rose enamels.
Each dish is finely painted with alternating panels of court figures and vibrant floral reserves, centered by delicate medallions and framed by intricate gilt scrollwork. The lively figural scenes—set within interior settings—contrast beautifully with the surrounding birds, blossoms, and butterflies, creating that unmistakable Rose Medallion energy collectors love.
The form itself is especially appealing—designed for serving shrimp or shellfish, with its distinctive asymmetrical shape and integrated well—making these as functional as they are decorative. The undersides reveal a soft celadon-toned glaze, consistent with 19th century export production.
They present beautifully as a pair and make a striking addition to a table setting, bar, or wall display.
