Vase

China

Not on view

The delicate shades of pink found in the lush peonies on the surface of this vase help date the piece to the eighteenth century. The color pink was introduced from Europe to China around 1720 and quickly become part of the decoration of cloisonné enamels, as well as porcelains painted with overglaze enamel pigments such as the famous famille rose wares.
