1680-1722 (made)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
The Kangxi period (1662-1722) was a golden age for enamelled porcelain. All sorts of shapes and colours emerged from the skilful hands of potters in Jingdezhen, the porcelain city in Jiangxi province. The predominant colour of this vase is green, which inspired the French art historian Albert Jacquemart (1808-1875) to coin the term 'famille verte' (green family) to describe Chinese porcelain of such a colour scheme.
