Rouge stains the bowl with gold, / Rouge leaves a trail of intoxication.

Legend has it that rouge originated in the Shang Dynasty. It was made by women in the Yan region by condensing the juice of safflower leaves into a paste, hence the name.

It became popular during the Tang Dynasty, and there was a grand scene of "three thousand palace maids with rouge-covered faces".

This touch of rouge, when applied to porcelain, adds a touch of delicate elegance and nobility. Its refined beauty also lends it a cool, pure hue, like a beautiful woman's face—a color that pleases the eye and never tires the eye.

Excellent porcelain art possesses charm and soul. The ability to capture the alluring beauty of rouge red in a piece is the most demanding requirement and test for porcelain artisans.

The covered bowl, painted with rouge and gold, is beautiful without being gaudy, vibrant without being vulgar, charming and incomparable.
