The glaze contains copper to present the red color in a reducing atmosphere at high temperatures. It is quite difficult to achieve a smooth, lustrous effect because very strict firing conditions are required. Extant red glazed porcelain wares datable to the Zhengde reign are very rare, indicating that the manufacturing technique was declining at the time.
