Famille Rose: A European name meaning “the pink family” given to Chinese porcelain wares whose decoration is dominated by a rose-pink color. This enamel color was achieved by adding lead-based white pigment to colloidal gold. The Chinese term for this type of porcelain was pronounced yangcai (foreign colors).

HISTORY: Around the end of the 16th century, a Jurchin leader named Nurhaci (1559–1626) brought together various nomadic groups who became known as the Manchus. His forces quickly conquered the area of present day Manchuria, and his heirs set their sights on China. In 1636 the Manchus chose the new name of Qing, meaning “pure,” to emphasize their intention to purify China by seizing power from the Ming dynasty. By 1683, Qing forces had conquered the remainder of China and established a dynasty that endured until 1911. less
