Specifications

Craftsmanship

Famille rose (fencai) is an overglaze technique: the white porcelain is first glaze-fired, then painted with soft enamel colours and fired a second time at a lower temperature (roughly 700–800°C). The enamels allow delicate shading, but sit on top of the glaze, so they should be treated gently.

How to Use

Intended for display. Use the included stand or a secure wall fixing, keep away from direct sunlight and places where it could be knocked.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference. Overglaze enamels are softer than the glaze beneath; do not scrub the painted areas.
