Pair of Chinese Monochrome Ox Blood Porcelain Double Handled Vases

About the Item

An Exquisite Pair of Chinese Monochrome Ox Blood Porcelain Double Handled Vases. The deep, rich hue of ox blood gradually transitions to a more translucent tone towards the upper portion, creating an alluring visual effect. These vases boast an angular and generously wide shape, emphasizing their artistic appeal. Reflecting traditional Chinese aesthetics, these stylized vases feature double handles and large ribbing along the midsection, exuding a tasteful and understated elegance. The exceptional coloration of these pieces showcases a darker shade at the base, gradually transitioning to a lighter hue at the top, while the fluted top adds an extra touch of refinement. The deep red glaze adorning these porcelain vases originates from the use of copper, a notoriously challenging metal to control during the kiln firing process. The distinctive oxblood color emerges when copper is deprived of oxygen in a smoky, oxygen-reduced kiln and subsequently re-oxidizes during the cooling phase. The resulting glaze, characterized by its varying shades and opacities, stands as one of the most unique and elusive manifestations within the realm of high-fire ceramics.
