In the 18th century, Chinese manufacturers developed a new pink enamel which became extremely popular. On these plates, the use of pink enamel decoration is fully developed, as the subtle nuances in the hues of the large flowers show. The porcelain is exceptionally thin. The back is completely covered in pink enamel, lending a warm glow to the translucent white porcelain.
