This teapot is decorated with floral motifs in 'famille rose' palette of colourful enamels. It belongs to a group of Canton enamels where the ceramic body is believed to have been made at the Jingdezhen kilns and the enamel decoration added on at the city in Guangzhou. The teapot reflects European tastes as most Canton enamel ware was meant for export to the West.The term famille rose was coined by Europeans to refer to an enamel palette in which opaque pink is the predominant colour among a palette of colours.
