Craft Highlights

• Underglaze‑Red Underglaze Decoration: Painted on porcelain body with copper oxide as colorant, covered with transparent glaze and fired once under high‑temperature reducing flame. Red patterns lie beneath glaze, wear‑resistant and fade‑proof.

• High Firing Difficulty: Copper‑red pigment is highly sensitive to kiln temperature and atmosphere. Dull tone and color bleeding frequently occur with low finished‑product rate. Strict kiln control is required for reproduction.

• Complete Antique‑Style Ornamentation: Patterns are painted by layers on neck, shoulder, vase body and base. Distinct layers of Eight Auspicious Symbols, scrolling flowers and lotus‑petal motifs fully restore the composition layout of ancient porcelain.

• Traditional Plum‑Vase Shape: Small mouth with full shoulders, bold and sleek lines, replicating the proportion of ancient wares.
