An exceptionally rare and valuable discovery: a trusted trade partner in Hong Kong granted me access to a strictly limited stock of untouched, vintage 1970s Rose Medallion Planters. These museum-quality fishbowls are unused, hand-painted with genuine gold, and finished with an ultra-thick, tactile glaze—true hallmarks of collector-grade Chinese porcelain. Every planter showcases intricate, raised floral designs and masterful brushwork, with crisp, vivid painting you can both see and feel. Even the interior is a visual masterpiece, adorned with koi fish, waterlilies, and twining floral vines around the rim. These planters are meticulously handmade, boasting an especially dense porcelain body, substantial rims, and a weighty construction that stands two inches taller than modern equivalents. Each bears an authentic Hong Kong maker's mark (Chop), permanently kiln-fired onto the base. The lavish rose medallion patterns feature opulent floral and wedding-scene panels, highlighted by brilliant gold and koi-fish borders in a vibrant array of fire-glazed pastels. Opportunities to acquire a piece of this rarity and caliber are exceedingly scarce. This bowl is not only a statement collector’s item but also large enough to serve as a dramatic tree planter or, with a glass top, an extraordinary side table.
