Sang De Boeuf Porcelain Bottle Neck Vase (Tianqiuping) – 19th Century

This antique vase was hand made on the potters wheel in the traditional way. It is then decorated by hand before firing. Sang de boeuf was one of a number of new flambé glazes, marked by unpredictable but highly decorative and varying effects. First developed in the Jingdezhen porcelain kilns during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) this vase dates to the late 19th century. 

Sang de boeuf refers to the colour which translates to French for ‘ox blood’, a colour created by oxidising iron & copper.
