Jingdezhen Famille Rose Porcelain Vessel, c.1970s-1980s

Story

In the 1970s, China reopened its ancient kilns to the global market, blending centuries-old porcelain techniques with state-run factory production. This mark represents a fascinating era where individual artists worked in collective state factories, signing their wares with coded letters and numbers.

Maker / Origin

Jingdezhen has been the undisputed 'Porcelain Capital' of the world for over 1,700 years, supplying imperial courts from the Han dynasty onward. In the mid-to-late 20th century, the industry was reorganized into large state-run factories (numbered 1 through 14, plus lettered divisions), which produced high-quality hand-painted export wares that kept ancient decorative traditions alive.

Condition & Value

The porcelain body shown around the mark appears clean, bright, and free of hairline cracks. The iron-red mark is crisp and legible, which is highly desirable for collectors tracking specific factory codes. Excellent condition of the overall vessel's decoration will preserve its maximum value.
