In the 18th century, Chinese porcelain export dishes with floral patterns gained immense popularity in Europe and North America. These wares, primarily produced in the Jingdezhen kilns, featured intricate hand-painted designs often inspired by both Chinese and Western botanical motifs. The Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) saw a surge in demand for these items, driven by the European fascination with chinoiserie. Export porcelain was tailored to Western tastes, often incorporating famille rose and famille verte palettes. These dishes not only served as tableware but also as prestigious decorative items in European households.
