Set Of 2 Famille Rose Vases Made In China

Famille Rose porcelain originated in China during the Qing Dynasty, gaining prominence in the 18th century. It is characterized by its opaque overglaze enamels, which include a distinctive pink or rose color derived from colloidal gold. This technique allowed for a wider range of colors and more delicate designs than previous porcelain styles.

These pieces were often hand-painted with intricate scenes of nature, daily life, or historical events, reflecting the cultural values and artistic preferences of the time. The porcelain was produced primarily in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, and was highly sought after by both domestic and international markets. The mark on the bottom indicates it was made in China and hand painted in Macau, which was a Portuguese colony until 1999.
