Description

In the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), imperial patronage and a growing urban population encouraged consumption of luxury goods and local craftmanship. Luxury items became more affordable to larger parts of the society, including women, merchants, and literati in non-official positions. This miniature porcelain vase with famille rose overglaze enamel decoration illustrates some of the highest technical accomplishments in Qing porcelain production.
