The iron-red plum blossom tea cup was painted by Zhang Jian, a master of overglaze enamel and gold-leaf technique in Jingdezhen. The clay is delicate, the shape is regular and dignified, and the finishing is exquisite. The iron-red color is neither as high-profile as red nor as bright as yellow, but just right between red and yellow, presenting a unique beauty.
Iron-red enamel originated in the Song Dynasty and was a precursor to various overglaze colors. It was later used in the red enamel of the Wanli period in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the glaze was applied using the blowing glaze method, also known as "coral red glaze". Iron red was used extensively in the Qing Dynasty, generally on wucai (five-color) and doucai (enamel-painted) wares.
