A set of three 18th century Chinese export porcelain cabinet plates depicting antiquities, Yongzheng 1722-1735

The regn of Emperor Yongzheng (r. 1722-1735) of China's Qing dynasty is renowned for his exquisite porcelain production. Yongzheng porcelain is celebrated for its exceptional refinement, delicate forms, and innovative decoration. Pieces from his reign display a perfect balance between technical mastery and artistic elegance, reflecting imperial taste.

The palette famille rose (fencai) flourished, enabling soft, pastel shades and intricate designs. Shapes became thinner and more graceful, with flawless glazes like celadon and monochromes. Many works feature auspicious symbols, literary scenes, and naturalistic flowers, embodying subtle sophistication.

Yongzheng's patronage pushed Jingdezhen kilns to achieve unprecedented levels of craftsmanship and aesthetic perfection.
