Famille rose is a type of fine porcelain in which the colorless glaze has been delicately painted with opaque pink enamel, made with gold oxide. The use of gold oxide to produce rose-pink colors is thought to have come from Europe. Digital presentation of this object was made possible by: The Ridgefield Foundation, New York, in memory of Henry J. and Erna D. Leir |
