Summary[edit]

Description
English: China, 1403-24

his red porcelain stemcup is a rare example of a cup decorated with a red glaze, derived from the red oxide of copper. It dates to the beginning of the Yongle reign period (1403-1424). This type of cup is called quanbei, literally 'urging cup', which refers to the fact that the drinker would toast his companions and at the same time urge them to refill and drink from their own cups.
The results of recent excavations conducted at the sites of the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen have shown that there was a large quantity of discarded red glazed pieces, around 80% of which did not reach the quality standards required.
