High-temperature copper-red glazed porcelain has experienced the glory of the Yongle and Xuande periods in the early Ming Dynasty since it was successfully fired in Jingdezhen kiln in the Yuan Dynasty, and has declined by the time of Jiajing. It can be seen from the handed down Jiajing copper red glaze with less stock that its glaze color is not bright, the color is dark, and the color is red and black. At this time, a large number of low-temperature alum glaze porcelain with iron oxide as colorant appeared. This kind of porcelain with alum red glaze is usually fired twice, that is, white porcelain body is fired at high temperature, and then coated with alum red material and baked at low temperature in the kiln, so this kind of porcelain is also called “plastering red”. Its firing technology is relatively easy and once replaced the status of copper red glaze.
