The Empress Dish | Vintage Hand-Painted Rose Medallion Porcelain Bowl in Brass Casing

Rich in narrative and vibrant detail. Crafted as part of the Mid-Century Japanese export tradition, this shallow porcelain dish features classic Rose Medallion-style hand-painted enamel panels — alternating between lush botanical peonies and serene court scenes — encased entirely within a protective brass rim.

The brass outer casing lends a grounding, industrial weight to the delicate porcelain artwork inside, making it an exceptional display piece on a plate stand, a moody catchall for fine jewelry, or an accent within a maximalist gallery collection. A storied fusion of East Asian artisan tradition and mid-century decor history.
