Famille-rose porcelain, so called because of its pink enamel, first came into being during the Yongzheng reign (1723-1735) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and continued to be made throughout the centuries. Main materials and techniques used to make the porcelain were all introduced in the beginningfrom abroad.
When making famille -rose porcelain, craftsmen fired glass whiteness onto plain porcelain, creating patterns with Chinese painting techniques and then baking it in a kiln.
At the beginning there were only a few works of famille -rose porcelain, whose color paintings were also very simple - mainly patterns of flowers, clouds and dragons. Porcelain was very fine.
The famille-rose porcelain produced in the Qianlong reign saw an obvious change - other colors such as green, yellow, blue, carmine or purple, were added to the white porcelain. At that time, the porcelain was no longer as delicate.
Famille-rose porcelain wares in the Qing Dynasty mainly included pots, bottles, wine vessels, jars, basins, plates, urns, boxes, and so on. The patterns mostly included dragons and phoenixes, flowers, landscapes, human figures and themes from legends. Subjects on the porcelains often came from paintings of famous painters at that time.
