About Rose Medallion: Rose Medallion is a style of porcelain or china pattern, if you will, that developed in the first quarter of the 19th century, about 1820 or so. It was produced as part of the Chinese export market largely for European and American consumers. This style of Chinese porcelain has commanded rather steady popularity for more than two centuries among lovers of stylish design and Chinoiserie. When talking about Rose Medallion, it is not actually a rose, but a peony flower! The rose in Rose Medallion refers to the color, and the actual flower depicted in the pattern is a peony – the national flower of China. Rose Medallion features a central medallion usually depicting a bird, tree, peony, and/or rocks surrounded by four or more alternating panels of people then florals with fruits and birds. The panels, also called reserves, are outlined by intricate borders of c-scrolls set against green tendrils and pink florals. Bats, butterflies, and birds often decorate the outer edges of a form or fill in the spaces between the reserves. Rose Medallion services have been very popular in America, and we know that President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife ordered a large service in the 1860’s as well as President James Buchanan who owned a service with his initials in the central medallion. Source: Pender and Peony 3751
