Introduced during the rule of the Kangxi Empire (1661–1722), famille rose enamelware would eventually grow to include a wide range of tones, colors, and complex depictions. As the famille rose style gave artists greater creative freedom, it continued to enjoy popularity through the 18th and 19th centuries. Several Imperial Chinese famille rose items are among the highlights of the upcoming Washington Holiday Asian Antique & Jewelry sale, offered by Capitoline Auction Gallery.
The term famille rose refers to Chinese porcelain wares that are painted with an opaque overglaze in shades of pink and carmine. These colors later came to be known as Yangcai (meaning “foreign colors”). Blue is another significant color in the Chinese porcelain tradition; it symbolizes wood, spring, and positivity. Blue and white Chinese wares, including dishes and vases, are other key highlights in the sale.
Presenting more than 600 lots, including bronze sculptures, schist fragments, and coral jewelry, the auction will also feature several significant Asian antique pieces. Items from the collections of former diplomats and statesmen will be especially highlighted. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Bidsquare.
