The Historical Status and Artistic Value of Qianlong Famille Rose Porcelain Ware from the Qing Dynasty

As the pinnacle of imperial porcelain in the Qing Dynasty,Qianlong Famille Rose porcelain wareholds an irreplaceable position in the history of Chinese ceramics. Unlike other Jingdezhen porcelains, the firing process of Famille Rose porcelain was extremely stringent and unique: first, the highest quality white porcelain blanks (commonly known as"tianbai") were fired at the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen, then transported thousands of miles to the Imperial Household Department's Workshops in the Forbidden City in Beijing, where imperial court painters meticulously applied the designs by hand, and finally, it was fired at low temperatures within the palace. This absolute exclusivity, which"commoners were forbidden to glimpse,"determined its sky-high value in today'sHong Kong high-price buyback market for Qing Dynasty imperial kiln porcelain.
