Chinese Canton Famille Rose porcelain was export wares made for the western market. Grand and ornately decorated for Georgian and Victorian taste in the 18th and 19th century. It can always be seen in stately homes.

As with many products, over time the quality diminished, and as a result the early pieces are the most desirable today to collectors.

Canton Famille Rose works well also in a contemporary space. The contrast of the old fashioned shape looks good in a minimalist home, but the bright colours are in keeping with a modern feel.

18th century Canton Famille Rose is slightly different stylistically than 19th century pieces once you get your eye in.

This piece has the colour palette and facial style of 18th century Canton Famille Rose.

The last photo is another example of an 18th century piece. It is a massively inferior, smaller less detailed piece, but still sold for £750 at auction.

There is a small chip to the rim and a hairline near the bottom. Also, some possible historic work done on the rim that is invisible. It is inoffensive and it does not matter to collectors when it comes to really old pieces.

This piece is heavily decorated with wonderful palace court scenes. It has sculpted dragons around the neck, a gilded rim and is coloured inside, denoting a higher quality piece.

It is a large statement decorators piece.

It stands 42cm tall.

This is 18th century Canton Famille Rose, so it is Qianlong period porcelain.

18th century Canton Famille Rose pieces you find are often smaller pieces and plates. It is extremely rare to find large 18th century vases.

A significant, significant piece in this area.
