Features: Blue and white porcelain, underglaze red, and blue-and-white underglaze red are all types of underglaze enamel porcelain. Due to its relatively low firing difficulty and vibrant colors, blue and white porcelain is the most numerous among underglaze enamel porcelains. Underglaze red porcelain exhibits beautiful colors and requires higher firing techniques. Blue-and-white underglaze red porcelain integrates the firing techniques of both blue and white underglaze red, with both red and blue colors appearing exceptionally beautiful on the same piece, demanding even higher firing techniques. As a result, blue-and-white underglaze red pieces with superior coloration are particularly valuable. All three types of underglaze enamel porcelain are loved by people for their bright colors and enduring luster. During the Yongzheng period, porcelain production reached a high level. Whether it was blue and white, underglaze red, or blue-and-white underglaze red, the firing was extremely successful. Moreover, in terms of variety, shape, and decorative styles, the porcelain was exceptionally rich, laying a solid foundation for the historical peak of Qianlong porcelain production. This book introduces the auction history of blue and white, underglaze red, and blue-and-white underglaze red during the Yongzheng period, fully reflecting the market value of these three types of underglaze enamel porcelain in that era. It also provides an introduction to these three types of underglaze enamel porcelain, covering their origins, production methods, firing principles, characteristics and varieties in different periods, aiming to give readers a comprehensive and systematic understanding of blue-and-white underglaze red porcelain.
