About Sang-de-Boeuf Glaze:
This rich oxblood glaze, also known as flambé glaze, is highly sought after in Chinese ceramics. Popular during the Qing Dynasty, it results from a copper-rich glaze fired in a reducing atmosphere, creating a lustrous and flowing red surface.

A bold and sophisticated statement piece for collectors of Asian ceramics, flambé-glazed pottery, and traditional Chinese-inspired décor. See less
