Rose Medallion is a pattern that was created in China in the early 19th century. It was mainly for export to America and European countries. The pattern was continuously produced or recreated up through the late 20th century. I have always enjoyed this pattern. We did not have much in our households, but it is a pattern that Grandmother would always point out whenever we were antiques shopping. Mom did have a small bowl that sat on our living room coffee table for a while that we bought at an auction.
Until this past year, I did not own any Rose Medallion. I went to an estate sale, surprise surprise, and found this collection. It was more than I wanted to pay for it, but since it was the last day of the sale, I decided to make an offer. I did and it was accepted. I do love the pieces, especially the cups and the chocolate set. I need to find good places to display them. I don't really have a place to put them all in one spot so I will pepper them throughout the house!
I don't know how long I will hold onto them but am happy to have them at the moment. I enjoy them and that is what is important!
