Abstract
This study explored the cross-cultural artistic style and innovation mechanism of 18th-century Famille Rose porcelain exporting, focusing on representative cases in both Jingdezhen and Guangzhou. The findings revealed that this type of porcelain reflected a fusion of Chinese and European aesthetics in form, motif, technique, and cultural meaning. The evolving “Parasol Ladies” motif demonstrated four key innovation dimensions: artistic media transformation, secondary creation, cultural reinterpretation, and adaptability to vessel form. These mechanisms not only highlight the flexibility of Chinese artisans in a cross-cultural context but also offer valuable insights into contemporary art and design techniques. This mechanism has successfully facilitated the widespread popularity and cultural dissemination of Famille Rose porcelain in the European market. It has mainly inspired contemporary artistic design.
