More InformationThe sacrificial red glaze on this piece has been confused with langyao-hong, or "oxblood red glaze", in some documents. Langyao-hong is distinguishable from sacrificial red glaze because it is thicker, harder, and more transparent. The long-lived sacrificial red glaze continued to be applied on standardized sizes and forms throughout the Qing. This dish was one of the imperial wares modeled after Ming prototypes, as attested to by the white lip of similar Xuande red glazed dishes (Urban Council 1989: 69-70).
