Dimensions: 9" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $1,230 Background of Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain: Famille Rose is a style of Chinese porcelain decoration introduced in the 18th century. Famille Rose is a Western classification for Qing dynasty porcelain known in Chinese by various terms: fencai, ruancai, yangcai, and falangcai. The color palette is thought to have been introduced in China during the reign of Kangxi (1654–1722) and perfected in the next, Yongzheng era, when the finest pieces were made. Apart from pink, many other soft colors are also used in famille Rose. The gradation of colors was produced by mixing colored enamels with opaque white enamel.

  • Pair of Chinese Famille Rose Plates with Garden Scenes, C. 1900
    Located in Chicago, IL
    During the 18th century, Europeans provided an eager market for Chinese export porcelain, especially the colorful and fanciful ware known as “famille rose.” Named for a palette of opaque overglaze enamels that favored roses and pinks, famille rose porcelain ware was crafted with the same technical virtuosity as imperial porcelain but designed for Western tastes. This pair of fine porcelain dishes is a beautiful example of famille rose, decorated with pastel enamels in a palette of purple, turquoise, and pink. The center of each plate is decorated with a calm scene of a woman and a young boy in a garden, surrounded by flowering plum branches and lingzhi fungi of immortality. The scene is bordered by an all-over purple fish...
