High-fired coloured glaze ware, first developed in the Song dynasty, is one of the four major traditional ceramic products in Jingdezhen. It came to its prime period in the Qing Dynasty. Jingdezhen is the most renowned place in China for the production of coloured glaze ware in terms of history, variety, quality and artistic merit. Various metal oxides and natural ores are used as colouring agents for the preparation of high temperature colored glazes.

This glaze is applied on the green clay bodies that are then high fired in a kiln. So far many charming colored glaze wares have been developed i.e., bright and eye-catching red glazes, simple but elegant blue or green glazes, mottled fancy glazes of classic beauty and so on. That is why this type of glazed porcelain is also called "Man-made Precious Stone" by the people. Among varies coloured glaze wares, the most treasured types are Jun Red, Sacrificial Red, Sacrificial Red and San Yang KaiTai (three colours mixed).

It originated in the Yongle reign during the Ming Dynasty. It is called "Sacrificial Red" or "Altar Red" because of its royal use for sacrificial utensil.
