Famille Rose (French for "pink family") is a type of Chinese porcelain introduced in the 18th century and defined by pink overglaze enamel.


Famille-rose porcelain was made at the famous Imperial Kilns of Jingdezhen. 


The pieces were first fired and then painted and given a final glaze of quartz sand mixed with lead and sometimes fern ash before a second firing.


The special glaze was used to enhance the brightness of the colors.
