釉裡紅，瓷器釉下彩裝飾手法之一，創燒於元代景德鎮。是將含有金屬銅元素為呈色劑的彩料按所需圖案紋樣繪在瓷器胎坯的表面，再罩以一層無色透明釉，然後入窯在1300℃左右的高溫還原焰氣氛中一次燒成。
Underglaze red, one of the underglaze color decoration techniques, created in the Yuan Dynasty Jingdezhen. It is to contain copper element as a color agent of the color material according to the desired pattern painted on the surface of the porcelain blank, and then cover with a layer of colorless transparent glaze, and then into the kiln at 1300℃ or so high temperature reduction flame atmosphere once fired.
此件明早期釉裡紅梅瓶，小口，卷唇，腹以下微斂，淺圈足無釉，造型優美，器型完整無缺，老氣十足。梅瓶頂部火焰形鈕，通體施白釉，白中略泛青，釉質細膩滋潤，底露胎。主題紋飾與輔助紋飾和諧得體，是一件難得的藝術品。

Plum bottle top flame button, the whole body applied white glaze, slightly green white, fine and moist enamel, bottom dew tire. The theme decoration and the auxiliary decoration are harmonious and decent, which is a rare artwork.
眾所周知釉裡紅燒制難度巨大，釉裡紅創燒於宋，勃興流行於元；明代達到鼎盛時期，釉裡紅的成色由氧化銅鍛燒而成，氧化銅在攝氏800℃以上即會蒸發，但鈷藍成色的溫度卻高達攝氏1300℃；要同時保持釉裡紅成色，多少有點僥倖。所以燒制釉裡紅，從顏料配製和自始至終的製作工序都要十分嚴格。若稍有偏差，就有整窯報廢之可能，曾聞先輩說過燒制釉裡紅，十能出一者，可謂佳矣！這是對燒制釉裡紅難度大的寫照。而且元人尚白，漢人尚紅，民族認同感也有別，所以釉裡紅產量一直很小。
It is well known that underglaze red is very difficult to burn. Underglaze red was created in the Song dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty. At its peak in the Ming Dynasty, the glaze red was formed by the forging and burning of copper oxide, which would evaporate at 800 ° C or more, but the cobalt blue was as high as 1300 ° C. It was a bit of a fluke to keep the underglaze red at the same time. So firing underglaze red, from the pigment preparation and the production process from beginning to end are very strict. If there is a slight deviation, there is the possibility of scrapping the whole kiln, once heard the previous generation said that firing underglaze red, ten can be out of one, it can be described as good! This is the portrayal of the difficulty of firing underglaze red. And yuan people are still white, Han people are still red, national identity is also different, so the yield of underglaze red has been very small.
