清珊瑚红盖杯 Qing Dynasty Coral Red Cup 04

Coral red

　　Coral red is also a kind of low temperature iron-red glaze. It begins in the years of Kangxi and flourishes in the years of Yongzheng and Qianlong. The red glaze is first blown on the white glaze. It can compare favorably with natural coral because the color of the glaze is even and smooth after it is fired. Therefore, it is called "coral red". The color of the glaze is suffused with yellow during the years of Yongzheng, but not only is the color deep but also the glaze is thick during the years of Qianlong. The coral red was served as flush color during the years of Kangxi and Yongzheng. "wucai" and "famille rose were drew on it. The modeling, manufacturing and decoration of the wares are extremely fine. The liquid gold is often decorated on the coral red or it is used to decorate the ears of the ware during the years of Qianlong. But the coral red ware is still rare.

“珊瑚红”是明朝中后期景德镇御厂制瓷者熟练掌握低温釉上铁红烧制后，在明初矾红彩制作基础上发展演变而来的彩釉。坦白讲，“珊瑚红”应是“矾红彩”的一个发展分野，现在几乎成为矾红单色釉、色地釉的一个代名词。

随着制瓷业的发展，珊瑚红釉制品越来越复杂。施釉从局部到整体（即珊瑚红单色釉），甚至增加金彩装饰，与五彩、珐琅彩、粉彩等结合，组成创新混合彩瓷。
