Large underglaze-painted jar. From Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, southern China. Ming dynasty, Hongwu period, 14th CE. From the reign of the first Ming emperor, general Zhu Yuanzhang (reigned 1368-98), whose title was Hongwu. Painting with underglaze red was more difficult than underglaze blue: the copper oxide used as the colouring agent was harder to control than the cobalt that was used for the underglaze blue. The firing left parts of the red areas grey, as on this large jar. H. 67.2. cm. Inv. AC 1936,1012.37.
