Circa 1840 Chinese Export Rose Medallion Sauce Tureen with a matched Rose Mandarin Underplate. This rose medallion sauce tureen is in good condition with matching cover. The top has a nice gilded mushroom Finial/Cover. The tureen itself has nice double strapped gilded handles. The tureen measures 8 1/2" from handle to handle and 5 1/2" X 4 1/2" inside dimension opening at the top. Good overall Condition with nice alternating panels of people in court scenes. The rose mandarin underplate is a marriage as it did not originally come with the tureen. The size matches perfectly. The dimension of the underplate is 8 1/4" X 6 1/2". It is good mandarin quality with a nice mandarin court scene with five ladies. Nice quality colors of blue, yellow and green with gold in the lady's hair. The border of the underplate is with greenery, roses and butterflies. There are two nicks to the side of the underplate which we are having restored. A very rare combination with a underplate at a reasonable price.
