Famille jaune (fr. yellow family, or yellow palette) Chinese porcelain refers to those decorated with a yellow background and complimentary polychrome enamel decoration traditionally including colors which might otherwise be thought of as verte palette - either having green, aubergine and yellow decoration on biscuit or five color decoration on porcelain. Famille jaune originated along with famille verte as early as the Kangxi period. As with famille noire porcelains, some attributions pre-dating the final reigns of the Qing dynasty may be debated. Much clobbering and sophisticated production around that time was feeding the Western collector demand for fine and colorful, often fantastic, Chinese porcelains.
Famille jaune, noire, rose, verte are terms used in the West to classify Chinese porcelain of the Qing dynasty by the dominant colour of its enamel palette. These wares were initially grouped under the French names of famille verte ("green family"), and famille rose (pink family) introduced by Albert Jacquemart in 1862. The other terms famille jaune (yellow) and famille noire (black) may have been introduced later by dealers or collectors and they are generally considered subcategories of famille verte.
Famille verte porcelain was produced mainly during the Kangxi era, while famille rose porcelain was popular in the 18th and 19th century. Much of the Chinese production was Jingdezhen porcelain, and a large proportion were made for export to the West, but some of the finest were made for the Imperial court.
