Canton Rose Medallion Figural, Bird & Floral Square Dish - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

## Description

A handsome square dish with gently curved, scalloped corners and a gilded rim, finely decorated in the rich, vibrant palette characteristic of Canton famille rose export porcelain. The surface is beautifully arranged in medallions: central round panel features birds and blossoms; larger reserves depict elegant ladies in a pavilion garden setting engaged in daily activities; additional panels brim with blooming peonies, fruit-laden branches, and colourful songbirds amid foliage — all set against an elaborate gilded scrollwork ground. The painting is lively and detailed, with generous use of gold and a harmonious, saturated colour scheme — a fine example of traditional export decorative art.

**Dimensions:**

- Approx. **23 cm × 23 cm**
