It is characterized by its opaque overglaze enamels, which include a distinctive pink or rose color derived from colloidal gold. This technique allowed for a wider range of colors and more delicate, detailed designs than previous styles.

Famille Rose porcelain often features scenes from nature, daily life, or historical events, and is highly prized by collectors for its beauty and craftsmanship. The presence of figural scenes, like those depicted on the potiche, are common. The potiche shape itself, with its covered lid, is a classic form used for both decorative and functional purposes, further enhancing its appeal and value. See less
