Background of Famille Rose Porcelains

The color palette is thought to have been introduced in China during the reign of Kangxi (1654–1722). One of the chief glories of the Yongzheng reign (1723-35) was the perfection of famille rose enamels, named for the pink and purple enamels that often predominate these striking compositions.
Significant advances in enamel production allowed for the subtle blending of white, pink, purple, and green enamels to produce color gradations.
For the first time, enamels could be mixed with opaque white and used in shading, similar to oil painting.
