What's Mandala Flower?

The mandala is more than just a flower that can be seen with the naked eye. It is a symbol of the spiritual level. In many cultures and religions, the mandala is seen as a gateway to the inner world, a path to self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Its circular structure symbolizes the perfect harmony of the universe, while the point in the center is the origin and end of all existence. By meditating on the mandala, people can go deep into their hearts, explore the meaning of life, and connect with a higher level of consciousness.

What's Underglaze-red?

Underglaze-red was a Chinese Jingdezhen innovation during the Yuan dynasty. Similar to the production of blue-and-white, copper pigment—which turns red after firing—was applied under a layer of transparent glaze before the ware was fired. In the past, copper served as the primary pigment for monochrome glazes, but as cobalt grew difficult to obtain from Yuan, copper became a substitute for cobalt. Towards the end of the Yuan dynasty, consignments of cobalt became less frequent due to a decline in trade with Persia, and as red was already designated as an imperial colour—highlighting the virtue of fire in the Hongwu period—both underglaze-and monochrome-red wares were produced in increasing quantities for official use, while the common people were forbidden from using the imperial underglaze-red.
