COLLECTOR'S NOTE

Famille rose porcelain became highly popular during the Qianlong period for its expanded enamel palette and refined figural scenes. Small saucers of this type were often produced for the export market and decorated with idealized courtly or garden subjects. Pieces featuring figures and animals remain sought after by collectors of Qing porcelain.
