During the 18th century, Europeans provided an eager market for Chinese export porcelain, especially the colorful and fanciful ware known as “famille rose.” Named for a palette of opaque overglaze enamels that favored roses and pinks, famille rose porcelain ware was crafted with the same technical virtuosity as imperial porcelain but designed for Western tastes.

This oval jar charms with vibrant famille rose decoration of well-dressed ladies and spritely children engaged in recreational pastimes. Contrasted by the white background, the domestic scenes are rendered in a soft, pastel palette with subtle gradation. Floral arrangements and auspicious objects fill the empty spaces and small bats flit across the jar as harbingers of happiness.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
