Blue and white glazed red pot and bottle
Blue and white underglaze red wares first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, once in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, and then disappeared. It was not until Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty that the level of the early Ming Dynasty was restored, and the Yongzheng period achieved remarkable results. Not only is the blue and white color pure, but the red in the glaze is bright and beautiful. Finally, it reached a perfect and exquisite state.
This unique underglaze color process is that cobalt is used as colored blue and white materials and copper red materials, patterns are drawn on the porcelain blank, then a layer of transparent glaze is covered, and then it is fired in a high-temperature reducing flame oven at one time. Because of the different color temperature requirements of cobalt-copper red hair, it is difficult to decorate it on an object. No wonder people lament that "it is difficult to burn a treasure in a thousand kilns", so they praise it as "treasure burns red"
