Features: During the Qing Dynasty, Jingdezhen was the national center for porcelain production, with imperial kilns almost exclusively producing porcelain for the imperial court. Most of the porcelain used by the Qing court originated from Jingdezhen. As a decorative technique, famille rose was an important decorative method for Qing court ceramics. It emerged in the late Kangxi period and became widely used as the primary ceramic decoration of the Qing court by the time of the Yongzheng era. Famille rose is a type of overglaze decoration applied to pre-fired, glazed white porcelain, which is then fired in a kiln at temperatures around 700℃—750℃. With its brilliant and dazzling colors, elegant and refined charm, and distinctive style, it creates a decorative effect that appeals to the customs of Qing society and is highly favored by the emperors, imperial consorts, and high-ranking officials of the Qing court.
