Blue and white underglaze red porcelain was first fired in the Yuan Dynasty. The colorant of blue and white is cobalt oxide, which is stable in color; The colorant of underglaze red is copper oxide, which is very volatile.

The emergence of this new type of underglaze color is an important sign of the technological progress of porcelain production in the Yuan Dynasty.
