Vase
Manufactured by Chelsea Keramic Art Works American
This striking red vase from the Chelsea Keramic Art Works demonstrates the firm’s highly experimental "sang de boeuf" or "oxblood" glaze. The mottled red and black glaze has a slight iridescence and pronounced textured surface, similar to that of an orange peel. Such vibrant red glazes, often found on simple forms, were inspired by Asian porcelains, widely accessible to an American market for the first time in the late nineteenth century.
