Jar with Basket of Auspicious Flowers

China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 200

In some of the porcelain on view, the color green predominates in the painted decoration. In others, such as this jar, it is shades of pink that dominate. As a result, porcelains painted with this palette have generally been known as famille rose (pink family) in Western writings.
