This vase is decorated with a glaze called "Fire Painting" by its creator in tones of orange, brown, red and gold. It is one of the many glazes developed by Theophilus A. Brouwer, Jr., who was interested in the relationship between the glaze and the ceramic body. This glaze was created by the application of glaze colors to a biscuit body which was then exposed to the heat of an open kiln, and subsequently cooled in a natural atmosphere.
