Circa 1840 Chinese Export Rose Medallion Lovely pair of antique chinese porcelain flower pots. This form is also referred to as cache pots. The famille rose enamels have the rose medallion and mandarin scenes. The decoration is of high quality with lots of detail and precisely painted. Both of these pieces are in Excellent Condition and Very Good Quality. One of these is 4 1/4" in diameter at the top opening and the measurement in height to the bottom foot is 3". The other one is 4 1/8" in diameter at the top opening and is 2 3/4" in height to it's bottom foot. The feet were supposed to fit into a underplate that neither one of these have. Again both are in Perfect Condition. No chips, cracks or restoration. Condition is Good. There is a bit of wear from age and use (mostly visable on the inside)and there is one chip to one of the underside feet of the smaller one.(Not visable when the flower pot is standing) Originally these would have had matched liners often referred to as underplates. But the are not, lost or probably broken thru the years.
