Vase with Animals and Mythical Creatures

China

Not on view

Porcelains painted with enamels in which the color green predominates are often classified as famille verte, based on the writings of the nineteenth-century French collector and connoisseur Albert Jacquemart (1808–1875). It should be noted that French terms such as famille verte are used only in Western and not in Chinese scholarship and have, therefore, not been used here.
