Fencai (Famille Rose) v Falangcai (Imperial Famille Rose). What's The Difference?


I don't remember if I have shared this article (in link below) before in the past, but I personally find it to be a good point of reference for Fencai and Falangcai porcelain pieces. Enjoy!

Will Pieces from the SAME Private Collection Smash Their 'Attractive' Price Point at Sotheby's London?



Delighted to learn about a certain rare famille-rose vase (supported by three boys from the Qianlong era) selling for more than 5 times its estimate of HK$2.5m-3m in Hong Kong recently :p I am very curious to know if any the exquisite pieces from the SAME private collection will smash their 'attractive' price point....especially the pair of celadon-ground Famille-Rose ‘bajixiang’ lobed vases from the Qianlong era (Estimate: £150,000 - 250,000).
