The production of Guang Cai began in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 300 years. At that time, Guangzhou artisans borrowed the technology of "golden tire burning enamel" from the west and created "copper tire burning enamel" with imported materials. Later, this method was applied to white porcelain tires and became a famous enamel color, which was the bud of Guangzhou colored porcelain.
