Famille Verte

The term Famille Verte describes a specific sort of Chinese export porcelain from the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), Chinese porcelain manufacturers strove to create new forms and decorative techniques to cater to their clients’ needs in China and abroad. One of these decorations became particularly successful – the Famille Verte. Recognisable components are finely detailed decorations in enamel paint, over a coat of glaze – chiefly executed and showing various shades of green.
