About MeThe Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was the last imperial dynasty of China, founded by the Manchus. Following an unstable period after the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, Jingdezhen, with its natural deposits of kaolin clay, again became the centre of Chinese porcelain manufacture. The Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors were patrons of the arts and literature and ceramic production reached its peak during these periods.
This famille rose vase features the 'Table of Peerless Heroes'.
