Craftsmanship used in making the cup: Famille Rose

Famille Rose is a cherished tradition in Chinese porcelain decoration, known for its intricate craftsmanship and vivid colors. Using techniques involving multiple layers of glaze and firing, artisans apply colors like iron red, pink, and purple to create detailed patterns on porcelain surfaces. Each piece reflects meticulous carving and coloring skills, highlighting a deep understanding of color application. Beyond its artistic value, Famille Rose is a vital part of Chinese porcelain culture with rich cultural and historical significance.

MAKING PROCESS

  • Making the Clay Body: The process begins with forming the clay body, which is the unglazed porcelain base.

  • Initial Firing: The clay body is first fired at about 800°C to achieve a certain level of hardness.

  • Glazing: A layer of transparent or white glaze is applied to the clay body, which is then fired a second time at around 1200°C.

  • Painting: The painting is done on the surface of the glazed porcelain using specially formulated Famille Rose pigments. Artisans typically outline the design with ink before filling it in with color.

  • Low-Temperature Firing: The final step is a low-temperature firing at 700-800°C, which fixes the Famille Rose pigments onto the porcelain surface.
