Famille Verte: is a style of Chinese porcelain characterized by a vibrant palette of enamel colors, predominantly green, along with yellow, blue, red, purple, and sometimes black and gold. This style was largely produced during the Kangxi period (1661–1722) of the Qing dynasty. The jar features detailed overglaze decoration, including scenes with cranes, birds, and flowers, common motifs in Chinese art. The term "Famille Verte" was coined in the West by Albert Jacquemart in 1862 to classify Chinese porcelain based on the dominant enamel color palette.
