Just a guess...

The brand name 'Rosella' is rumoured to be derived from a combination of the names Rose and Ella, daughters of the original owners, and it is also attributed to the large flocks of Eastern Rosella that routinely flew over the back yard of the company in 1894.
The Australian Eastern Rosella was one of the first birds to be noticed by early settlers due to its rich colourings. The Rosella is now renowned as one of the most beautiful and cheerful birds of the world.
The Rosella trademark, while originally registered for a Eucalyptus oil and Rhemeumatic Cure, was purchased for use by the Rosella Preserving Company Limited in 1895.

my guess is if you turn the object so that the bit missing on the edge is facing at the bottom,it looks like a fish swimming around seaweed although l don't know what that would have been used for,cheers Rod.
