Features: During the Qianlong period, white-ground and colored-ground famille rose porcelain achieved significant accomplishments simultaneously. The white-ground famille rose pieces possess a snow-like texture with vibrant colors and exquisite painting. The colored-ground famille rose exhibits a wide variety of types, utilizing different combinations of colored glazes to create new color effects. Meanwhile, the concurrent imitation famille rose porcelain further transferred techniques from sister arts—such as ceramics, bronze, jade, lacquerware, textiles, bamboo weaving, ivory carving, and both fresh and dried fruits—where precious and rare delicacies were replaced by porcelain, their texture so lifelike that it could be mistaken for the real thing. This book features over 300 Qianlong famille rose porcelain pieces, categorized into nearly 30 types based on different colors and glazing techniques. Additionally, it provides brief introductions to the glazing craftsmanship, patterns, and inscriptions, offering readers a fresh understanding of Qianlong famille rose porcelain.
