These colors were known to the Chinese as yangcai (??, “foreign colors”) because they were first introduced from Europe (circa 1685). The enamel paint used was originally the type of glaze applied to metal wares, such as cloisonné, and was adapted to porcelain after it entered China.By the time of the reign of Yongzheng (??, 1722-1735) in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), these shades were favored over the translucent famille verte (five-colored ware) over glaze colors that were previously used. Famille rose porcelain reached a climax of perfection at Jingdezhen under the directions of Nian Xiyao (???, ?-1739) and Tang Ying (??, 1682-1756), and continued with great delicacy through the Qianlong (??) period (1735-1796).Nowadays, the term fencai (??, literally “pink color”) is perhaps more commonly used, and is almost interchangeable with yangcai (??). However, fencai did not appear in official records until the beginning of the 20th century. less
