Famille rose porcelain is a style of Chinese porcelain developed in the early 18th century during the Qing dynasty, characterized by a soft, opaque palette dominated by pink and rose-colored enamel. The technique, introduced via European influence and the use of colloidal gold, allowed for delicate, detailed painting on porcelain surfaces, often depicting flowers, birds, figures, and intricate narrative scenes. Famille rose wares became highly prized both in China and abroad for their refined decoration, subtle color harmonies, and technical sophistication, influencing decorative arts across Europe and remaining a celebrated example of Qing dynasty artistry.
