Vintage four [4] pieces Famille Rose Chinese Rose Medallion porcelain tea set for two: two cups and saucers. Fine hand-painted porcelain with black traced outlines and high-quality glossy gold decorations; the cups are translucent eggshell porcelain, 1950s.

The saucers are 5.1/2" [14cm] across; the cups are 3.7/8" [9.9cm] across at the top, c. 2" [5.1cm] tall; one saucer has a tiny chip at the bottom rim [the center rim on which the saucer stands] and a few small enamel and gold stains on the bottom side [see photo], otherwise no cracks, no hairlines, very good / fine condition.

Rose Medallion is the pattern with the widest variations in forms, pattern, and quality. Four alternating panels around a central gold circle ("medallion") enclosing a bird and a tree peony characterize it. Within the four panels are birds, flowers, butterflies, and people in a house. Separating the panels are scrollwork vines, and flying "Fu" bats, a symbol for good luck and happiness.

The oldest pieces of antique Rose Medallion china date back to around 1840. They will not have any words or Chinese characters on the bottom. Early porcelain also has more pitting, may have a gold rim, may have scratches from use and the artwork in general is better and more detailed.
