Rose Canton Thousand Butterflies Plate circa 1920's-1930's

A hand-painted Rose Canton plate, circa 1920's-1930's, in the beloved thousand butterflies pattern, alive with pink roses and peonies at the center and a swirling border of butterflies and blossoms in jewel-bright famille rose enamels over crisp white porcelain, all framed by an iron-red rim.

Rose Canton is the flowers-and-butterflies cousin of Rose Medallion, painted entirely with blooms, butterflies, and birds and no figures. The thousand butterflies border gives it that collected, layered look grandmillennials love. Display it on a plate stand, group it on a plate wall, or slip it under a candle or trinket dish to dress up a vanity or console.

The details:

• Hand-painted Rose Canton porcelain in the thousand butterflies pattern
• Famille rose enamels with an iron-red rim and gilt accents
• Diameter: 5 1/2 in.
• Marked "Made in China" to the underside
