What seems to be an Early Chinese Rose Medallion Large 9.5 Inch Plate may be a Reproduction? Has Gold Leaf throughout and what I would consider quality fine details. Has a semi Rough back and is not glossy more of a matte finish. If it is Real how old would it be? Thanks Again for your Quality Answers! Gary K

I would definitely say it was real Canton Famille Rose, judging by the quality of painting. As for age, I would suggest late 19th to early 20th century.

Thanks Tom! That Does clear things up for me. Canton Famille Rose ... Will have to catch up on my understanding of Patterns better! Appreciate it! Best Regards, Gary K

The good quality hand-painted decoration and bottom of the plate (low-beveled foot with countersunk center and modicum of grit around the inner edge)indicates a late-19th century period of manufacture. This isn't "rose medallion", per se, since it lacks a traditional type of medallion in the center. "Rose Canton" would fit it better I think. Below are some pictures of a related pattern from my catalog.
