The Xuande Dynasty was the most brilliant period for the production of red glazed ware in the Ming Dynasty. During the Xuande period, the number of red glazed products not only increased significantly, but also surpassed that of Yongle’s bright red glazed ware. There were many new varieties of ruby, sacrificial red, Jihong, Jihong, Jihong, chicken blood red, ox blood red and so on. Xuande red glaze is rich in color, and the fetal bone is often hidden at the corners of the turning changes of the implements, which presents white veins, which adds to the changes of the viewer’s vision and is intriguing. At this time, the shapes of the red glazed ware were more abundant. In addition to the bowls, plates and goblets, the washing, stoves, plum vases, monk hat pots, brine pots, pear-style pots were also common. In addition to the dark flowers, the auxiliary decoration is also painted with gold. A line of white glaze formed at the mouth of the bowl is commonly known as “Dengcaokou”. The accumulated glaze of the red glaze appears cyan gray, and the thickest part is dense with bubbles, which is the typical era feature of Xuande red glaze. Its color is deep, does not flow the glaze, does not take off the glaze, and is called “Xuanhong”. After the Xuande Reign, the red glaze declined for a time, and it did not recover until the Kangxi Reign of the Qing Dynasty
