Features: This volume focuses on enamelware and famille rose porcelain, introducing their development and craftsmanship characteristics, and thereby addressing certain related issues. It includes a large collection of imperial ware from the Beijing Palace Museum, many of which are disclosed for the first time. Enamelware was originally a secret treasure of the imperial court and was rarely seen by the public in the past. Currently, only a few institutions such as the Beijing Palace Museum, the Taipei Palace Museum, and the Shanghai Museum have relatively concentrated collections. As for famille rose porcelain, previous publications often emphasized the products of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reigns, with less attention paid to those after the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods. This volume not only includes a wealth of fine pieces from the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reigns but also selects collections from the imperial courts of subsequent Qing dynasties, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the development of Qing dynasty famille rose porcelain.
