About the Item

This exceptional pair of 18th-century Chinese porcelain jars is hand-painted in vibrant famille rose enamels with blooming peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms in brilliant shades of pink, blue, orange, green, yellow, and red. The floral compositions are exuberant yet refined, painted with a sensitivity to balance and movement. Made during the Qianlong era, circa 1765, each jar is a fine example of the classic ginger jar form, with a rounded body and domed cover. While modest in scale, their shape and presence have sometimes led similar pieces to be described as “temple jars” in the decorative arts trade. Dimensions: 9" tall x 9" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $10,800 The invention of famille rose enamels in the early 18th century enabled a broader, more nuanced color palette, and this pair showcases the style at its most expressive. Decoration: Hand-painted famille rose enamels with peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms Material: Porcelain Style: Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Era Origin: China Date: Circa 1765 Key Features: – Pair of 18th-century Chinese porcelain jars with domed covers – Sometimes referred to as ginger jars or small temple jars – Hand-painted in the famille rose palette with vibrant floral motifs – Made during the Qianlong era (1736–1795) – Exceptional examples of Chinese export porcelain 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 Chinese Qing dynasty porcelain known in various terms: fencai, ruancai, yangcai, and falangcai. The Famille Rose color palette is thought to have been introduced in China during the reign of Kangxi (1654–1722) and perfected in the following Yongzheng era. 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.
