The ‘Rose Medallion’ family of patterns

By admin

Between the years 1840 and 1880 the Mandarin style pattern suddenly changed. By the addition of a dense flower tendril and gilt border it developed into a more or less firm style we now recognize as the Rose Medallion family. This family included endless variations around certain main themes as ‘Rose Medallion’, ‘Rose Mandarin’, ‘Rose Canton’, ‘Cabbage’ and the ‘Bird and Butterfly’ patterns. All made exclusively for export. Around 1860-80 variations of these decoration also appeared against a celadon ground. By the end of the 19th century the popularity dwindled to gain popularity again in the early 20th century, now with a brighter palette. The most typical pattern is based on four alternating panels around a central gold circle, separated by gold and green enameled scrollwork vines, and flying “Fu” bats, a symbol for good luck and happiness. Almost infinite variations are found within this theme of gold, green wines and good luck symbols. Often a group of mandarins and ladies occur which almost certain are fetched from the Qing dynasty period story, the Dream of Red Mansions. The higher qualities are signified by more exquisite details inside the medallions and softer and more balanced colored enamels.

Diane Pecnik,artist’s statement

By admin

Diane Pecnik was born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin in 1946. She is part of a fifth generation of french fishermen descended from Charles and Olive LECLAIR. She currently lives and works in Maurice, Louisiana, where she creates clay sculpture in her garden-studio. The studio was built in 1999, but she has been building clay since 1992.

I work with clay in many ways using a variety of techniques and firing types. My pieces generally begin on the wheel as a whole or in parts. Though I have no particular favorite, I do find the immediacy of the raku process, and it’s hauntingly moody surfaces greatly alluring.
