Blue and white porcelain is one of the well-known types of traditional Chinese porcelain, known for its freshness and elegance. Glazed red porcelain is a kind of porcelain with copper as a colorant, which is rarely produced due to the extreme difficulty of firing. Blue and white glaze red, commonly known as "blue and white plus purple", is a porcelain decorative technique with glaze red and painted ornamentation between blue and white. Blue and white refers to the use of blue flower material to depict the pattern pattern, and then apply a transparent glaze, and the color is fired at a time at a high temperature of about 1300C. Glaze red, refers to the use of copper oxide (copper flower) as a colorant formulated material, on the body (or first applied to the green and white glaze of the billet tire soil) to depict the pattern, and then covered with a layer of green and white glaze, and then loaded into the kiln, through the 1250C ~ 1280C strong reduction flame atmosphere, so that the high-priced copper reduced to low-cost copper, showing a delicate and calm red pattern. Glaze red is one of the traditional underglaze color decoration in China, it is the use of copper as a colorant to depict a variety of patterns on the body, and then apply transparent glaze through the high temperature reduction atmosphere firing, in the glaze reveals a red pattern, so it is called "glaze red". Red porcelain in blue and white glaze has become one of the precious varieties in China. Glazed red porcelain began in the Yuan Dynasty, flourished in the early Ming Dynasty, matured in Yongxuan, and was refined in the early Qing Dynasty. Glazed red porcelain is painted with copper red material on the porcelain tire, and then applied transparent glaze, with high temperature firing of underglaze color porcelain, its process and blue and white porcelain is exactly the same, the difference is that blue and white with cobalt material into color, and glaze red is made of copper red material, compared with other porcelain, "glaze red" porcelain firing difficulty is extremely high, for craftsmen is a great challenge. Because copper red material is very sensitive, whether it is the bottom glaze composition, copper red material proportion or roasting temperature, the production process must reach the most accurate level, a slight deviation, often resulting in it can not reach the expected touch of bright red. Therefore, "glaze red" is very unsuccessful at the beginning of the firing, easy to burn, the bright color of the "glaze red" is rare to see, the color is mostly light red, black red, gray black. Red porcelain with blue and white glaze, which was so difficult to fire, disappeared for a time after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and did not reappear until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
