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.
