Rose Medallion and Rose Canton are types of Chinese export porcelain that became popular in the 19th century. These wares were specifically made for export to the West, particularly to Europe and North America. The designs typically feature panels depicting scenes of court life, birds, flowers, butterflies, and other auspicious symbols.

Rose Medallion porcelain is characterized by the inclusion of four alternating panels: one with birds and flowers, one with figures, and two with butterflies and other insects. Rose Canton is similar but lacks the figural panels, focusing instead on birds, flowers, and landscapes. These bowls were often used as decorative items or for serving punch and other beverages. Given the size and decoration, this bowl would have been a luxury item.
