This reproduction Chinese porcelain vase with a five peach design follows a classic Famille Rose style. The origin of the five peach design can be found in the story of a fisherman by Tao Qian (365-427) who found endless bliss in a peach orchard hidden within a crevice.
Famille Rose was first seen in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It injected colour into traditional ceramic work, namely shades of pink and carmine - introduced by European Jesuits who worked in the palace. The name 'Famille Rose’ translates from French into ‘Rose Family’. Common styles found are Rose Canton, Rose Mandarin and Rose Medallion.
Famille Rose has been incredibly popular in Europe and America since its introduction.
A similar vase was sold at Sotheby's Important Chinese Art sale in New York, 2018.
