Dish with copper-red glaze
High-fired, copper-red glazes were perfected at Jingdezhen in the early fifteenth century, during the Yongle reign. Potters made almost no copies of these glazes for the next five hundred years. This saucer-dish is extremely rare as few imperial dishes with high-fired copper-red glaze were made in the sixteenth century. Mostly the potters substituted overglaze iron-red which was much easier to control and caused less wastage when completing imperial orders. It carries a Zhengde reign mark on the base.

銅紅釉盤
十五世紀早期,即永樂帝在位期間,高溫銅紅釉的燒制技術臻於純熟。此後的五百年間,陶工們幾乎未能燒造出相似的釉色。十六世紀,御窯高溫銅紅釉盤的燒造數量極少,本件托盤因此極其罕有。由於釉上鐵紅(礬紅)燒造技术更好控制,成品率高損耗較低,大多數陶工為了完成皇命,選擇以鐵紅作為銅紅釉的替代品。器底署正德年款。
