Amid the abundance of blue-and-white ceramics, a red-glazed jar like this feels truly refreshing. This particular shade is known as “underglaze red,” created using copper oxide. The motif is painted beneath a clear glaze and then fired at high temperatures. The red tones subtly seep and diffuse, creating gentle color variations—far more challenging to execute and control than traditional blue-and-white glazes, which is what makes this piece especially refined and distinctive.
