The emergence of red glaze can be traced back to the early Northern Song Dynasty.
But the truly pure and stable red glaze is the bright red that was first fired in the Ming Dynasty;
During the Jiajing period, vitriol red with iron as the coloring agent was created and burned.
Bright red is a high-temperature glaze, and alum red is a low-temperature glaze.
During the Xuande period, the number of red glaze products not only increased significantly, but also outperformed Yongle bright red, with names such as goose ruby red, sacrifice red, Jihong, Jihong, drunken red, bright red, chicken blood red, and ox blood red. A wide range of new varieties.
In terms of color, there are four types of Xuande red glaze: dark, slightly dark, light, and light. The darker ones are black and red in color, like newly coagulated cow's blood, with thick enamel and many bubbles in the glaze.
[Kangxi Porcelain Collection in the British Museum] In the history of Chinese ceramics, the Kangxi Dynasty is a dynasty that enjoys a high reputation for its porcelain firing. In the firing of colored glazed porcelain, the variety and high achievements in firing are beyond the reach of previous dynasties. There are many varieties of colored glazed porcelain, including sacrificial red glaze, cowpea red glaze, Langyao red glaze, Ji blue glaze, sky blue glaze, eggplant blue glaze, and yellow glaze, green glaze, bean green glaze, eggplant skin purple glaze, etc.
The slightly darker ones are brighter in color, the glaze layer is slightly thinner, and there are also small bubbles, accompanied by faintly exposed tiny blood filaments and small spots. The lighter glaze color is exceptionally uniform, comparable to the crystal clearness of rubies.

This looks as if it might be from about the Qing dynasty.

Hi, Peter;
If this is a ceramic from Qing dynasty, then it usually has a mark at the bottom of Cylinder. So I have different view that is a product of Ming dynasty. 
The success rate is very low for producing  霽红釉Ji red glaze Cylinder porcelain at 1 %. So it must likely come from emperor kiln.

The number of back side is number "One"  that indicated by people of Ming dynasty which is the size of ceramic. It is largest size of 霽红釉 ceramic.

我知道霽红釉是什麼而用途. 這個是香爐沒什麼cylinder. 這個的品質跟官窯差太多.  底很明顯只可能是民間窯的.
請看多點書幾年才說. 這個都是初學者應該知道的.

That was my impression as well Peter, " Late Qing ", the bottom is very uneven, the older periods were almost perfect, especially Imperial.
