A Little Help With A Famille Rose Plate ?

Gaungxu mark, but thinking first quarter 20th ? 5" diameter..

 

20th would not surprise me. But there is no "rose" in the palette so you're going to have to call it something else than "famille rose."

 

How about polychrome ?

 

You could do that. But I would call it colorful.

 

How about famille-verte like this one?

lol but his has complementary colors in it too!

 

From wikipedia.org

"... a group of 'families', or palettes of enamel colours used on Chinese porcelain. These are commonly known by their French names of famille jaune, noire, rose, verte, based on the dominant element in each colour palette are terms used to classify."

Famille verte (康熙五彩, Kangxi wucai, also 素三彩, susancai, lit. ‘three colours on a plain [unglazed or thinly glazed] body’), adopted in the Kangxi period (1661–1722), uses green and iron red with other overglaze colours.

Thank you, Debora!

 

I am starting to think Debora is right.. Famille Verte seems like a match to other pieces I am finding.

It is Famille Verte, which is simply a French name for Chinese porcelain with green as the dominant overglaze colour in the decoration. The Europeans didn't have a clue about Chinese terminology, they used their own terms.

There are different 'Familles' for the different dominant overglaze enamel colours. The ones which haven't been mentioned yet are Famille Jaune (yellow) and Famille Noir (black)

 

In other words... famille verte means "lots of green."

Exactly.

 

Which is why I asked about the extra complementary colors above! ...
