Flambe Glaze Small Porcelain Flower Vase

This reproduction Chinese sang de boeuf vase has a beautiful red sheen. Sang de boeuf was one of several new flambé glazes, marked by unpredictable but highly decorative and varying effects. It was first developed in the Jingdezhen porcelain kilns during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722). Sang de boeuf refers to the colour which translates to French for ‘ox blood’, a colour created by oxidising iron & copper. 

All our reproduction Chinese porcelain is made in Jingdezhen which has been the capital of Chinese porcelain production since 1004 AD. The famous imperial kilns have been sited there since the Ming dynasty (1368 – 1644 AD).
