About famille rose:
Famille rose (fencai) was developed during the Kangxi period (1662–1722) and became especially popular in the Qing dynasty. It is characterized by its soft yet vivid palette of opaque enamels, allowing fine shading and detailed floral and figurative motifs. Famille rose porcelain was produced both for the domestic market and for export, and today it is regarded as one of the most sought-after porcelain types of the Qing era.
