It is very rare to find a vase covered with pink enamel. Made with ground ruby glass dispersed in a colorless, transparent enamel and requiring a second firing, pink was as costly as it was exciting as a new technique. It was developed and added to the repertoire of enamel colors during the end of the Kangxi period. It has been suggested that pink evolved from lighter shades during the Yongzheng period into darker shades during the Qianlong period, so that shade may help indicate date. For this discussion, see Dr. George C. Williamson, The Book of Famille Rose, London, pp. 78-81
