Scope note
Style of ceramic made in China during the Qing-period (1644-1911) by commercial kilns for the domestic and export markets. It is characterized as overglazed enamel porcelain having a delicate rose pink derived from colloidal gold, in addition to a wide palette that facilitated a meticulous style of painting. For ceramics made in this style but manufactured elsewhere, use the broader term, “famille rose.”
