FAQs

Famille Rose, known in Chinese as yangcai or foreign colours, emerged during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor and reached great heights during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, characterised by an opaque pink enamel derived from colloidal gold.

These vessels were crafted from high-fired petuntse and kaolin porcelain clays, then hand-painted with mineral-based enamel pigments before undergoing a secondary low-temperature firing to fix the colours.

Authentication relies on examining the weight, potting characteristics, foot rim finish, iron spots in the glaze, and the specific palette and opacity of the hand-painted enamels under magnification.

Display the vessel on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table as a standalone sculptural accent, or group it with other ceramics to introduce historical texture and colour to a modern scheme.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and wash by hand only when necessary using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and immersion of pieces with repaired sections.
